No matter what you think of it today, this was definitely a serious downhill bike at the time. The Headshok was an early effort in 1992, when everyone’s forks had short travel. It was a real commitment as other forks were retrofit but the Headshok required a matching frame. There were versions that were as fully featured as any regular fork that lasted into the late 2000’s. They also made dual crown forks with more travel but not til 1997. Later on the Headshok was limited to hybrids. The short travel available from the steerer tube is why they later turned it into the Lefty in Y2K.
