cannondale has also developed a suspension fork called the lefty. it started with the "headshok" (a.k.a. "fatty") forks. it uses 88 needle bearings to reduce friction for smooth travel with the bearings telescoping inside the steerer tube of the fork. this minimizes flexing of the fork legs and also reduces static friction, which must be overcome before the fork begins to travel.
