Suspension fork with bottom-out bumper assembly and air pressure release assembly

Abstract

A suspension fork for a vehicle includes an upper tube and a lower tube slidably engaged with the upper tube collectively defining an interior. A topcap is positioned on the upper tube. A bottom-out assembly is disposed within the interior and comprises a bumper carrier positioned proximate to the topcap and an elastomeric bottom-out bumper affixed to the bumper carrier. An air pressure relief assembly can be integrated with the topcap. The suspension fork provides improved bottom-out protection and air pressure relief.
