A suspension system for a motor bike or pedal cycle comprises a fork assembly including a main spring 26 and a secondary spring 28 which are coaxially mounted such that the main spring 26 is provided to be compressed independently of the secondary spring 28 to a predetermined extent prior to the secondary spring 28 being compressed and the provision of the main 26 and secondary 28 springs under further compression allows an increase in the effective spring rate of the spring assembly. The spring assembly is adjustable in order to allow specific characteristics of the spring assembly to be achieved, and may include spacers 44 to adjust the point at which the secondary spring 28 is engaged.
