Cannondale Lefty SL
Cannondale's patented single-leg suspension fork created enormous controversy but proved its critics wrong. The Lefty SL used a single oversized cantilevered leg with a needle-bearing telescoping mechanism that eliminated the twisting forces inherent in dual-crown forks, producing industry-leading stiffness at a fraction of the weight.
