First Look: SR Suntour's 20-Inch Axon Werx Fork for the Groms 8

Kids bikes have come a long way in recent years, and in turn kids are pushing harder and progressing faster than ever, requiring performance suspension to follow and meet their small stature. SR Suntour’s passion for riding bikes and ability to do what many cannot have produced a 20" suspension fork like no other.

SR Suntour took their multiple World Cup and London gold winning Axon Werx platform, shrunk it down and tuned it for groms that want to go hard. It's light, stiff, easy to tune, easy to service, and most of all it performs to the same World Cup level as its big brothers. Why? Because they could, because it was fun, and because kids dig it (okay, their bike geek parents might dig it more).

The Axon Werx platform has carbon lowers with magnesium dropouts, so they made a 20" jig to cut the lowers, shortened the cartridge, and created a negative spring for light riders.
