The present invention is in connection with the field of the cycling industry, and in particular it refers to a front suspension system of a bicycle, of the single-stem type, thus adapted to be arranged inside the steering head tube and specially conceived, thanks to its compactness, to equip road 'racing' bikes but not exclusively intended for this category of bicycles.

Suspension system for arrangement within a steering head tube of a bicycle

A damping device () for a suspension () of a bicycle includes:

Damping device for a suspension of a bicycle

A suspension () for a bicycle () comprising an elastic element () and a blocking/releasing device () of the elastic element (). The blocking/releasing device () comprises:&#x2014;a closed hydraulic circuit () containing a working fluid ();&#x2014;a cylinder-piston assembly () comprising a cylinder () and a piston () slidable inside said cylinder, said cylinder-piston assembly () being inserted in the hydraulic circuit () and being operatively disposed in parallel with said elastic element;&#x2014;a valve () commanded by an actuator () inserted in the hydraulic circuit () and configurable according to an open configuration, so that the working fluid () freely flows in the hydraulic circuit for enabling movements of the piston () inside the cylinder (), and a closed configuration, so that the working fluid () is prevented from flowing in the hydraulic circuit () and the piston () is kept blocked by the working fluid ();&#x2014;a main housing () receiving inside the cylinder-piston assembly (); wherein the hydraulic circuit () is made in a space formed between the walls of the main housing () and the walls of the cylinder ().
