Each fork is signed by the athlete and is set-up as it was last ridden — compression, rebound and air pressure are all set to the rider’s preference.

The forks come with a custom wall display for collectors, but they are more than just eye candy. Each fork has been serviced by Fox race techs and comes with new Kashima-coated uppers and full-length steerer tubes.

Even if you’re not interested in bidding on a pro-ridden fork, it’s interesting to see how each of these athlete sets up his or her suspension - Courtesy
