A lockout device is mounted on a bike fork to selectively enable or disable the function of a shock absorber installed in the fork. The lockout device includes an activating mechanism (10) , a shifting mechanism (30) and a lockout mechanism (20) . The activating mechanism (10) can activate a rotational motion and is fitted around the shifting mechanism. The lockout mechanism (20) includes a non-deforming unit and a deformable unit, one of which is mounted on the activating mechanism (10) while the other unit is associated with the shifting mechanism (30). When a handle of the activating mechanism (10)is rotated, the deformable unit is either pressed by the non-deforming unit and enters a locked state, or separated from the non-deforming unit and enters a released state, and accordingly, sets the shifting mechanism (30) to an unmovable state or a movable state, respectively, relative to the activating mechanism (10), which in turn disables or enables the shock absorber, respectively.
