Yes, we have these in stock and they ship from our own warehouse located in Southern California. Normally Performance Lifts is not a bike parts supplier but our employees enjoy the outdoor lifestyle and love riding bikes. Our core business focuses on suspension. The majority of the forks bicycle manufacturers install on kids mountain bikes these days are overweight garbage. Our goal is to help smaller riders (kids) get a great set of proper air suspension forks so they can maximize the fun they have on their bike!

This RST F1RST 24 Air Fork is designed for use with 24" wheels. RST says their F1RST 24 Air Suspension Forks were designed with the next generation of riders in mind and we agree. RST borrowed technology they developed for their adult sized products and engineered a proper fork specifically designed for kids. One major improvement this fork offers is a massive weight reduction. Lighter forks are easier for kids to control and less weight means kids don't have to burn as much energy pedaling their bike up a hill. The other benefit is you can adjust the sag for different rider weights by altering the air pressure. You can also control the rebound valving and if you want to you can lock out the suspension remotely using the pre-installed remote lockout feature. If all of this sounds familiar it's because it probably is... Adult mountain bike forks have had these features for years.

PLEASE READ THIS:
Performance Lifts is not a bike shop. We specialize in modifying Jeep, Truck and SUV suspension systems. So why does an auto parts company sell bicycle forks? We enjoy riding bikes with our kids. These RST forks are available for purchase because we imported them direct from the manufacturer in Taiwan. Manufacturers won't sell 1 or 2 of something because it's not worth their time. So we had to buy more forks than we needed for our own kids. Our goal in selling these forks is to help smaller riders achieve better suspension performance on their mountain bikes. This is not a get rich quick scheme. We are selling the forks a few percentage points above cost to cover the cost of the part, shipping from Taiwan to California, Import Duty, payment processing and the "free" shipping we offer. The steerer tubes are uncut. The forks are BLACK as shown. They include a pre-installed remote lock-out lever that may or may not fit your kids handle bars properly. The forks do include an Owners Manual (with an English section) that's pretty good. All of the weights and measurements are metric. That means when setting the sag you'll need to convert from Kilograms to Pounds. The torque specs are in Newton Meters... please observe the recommended torque settings!
