A method of manufacturing integrally forged bike suspension forks is provided. First initially forming a crown prototype 2 by forging of an aluminum ingot. The crown prototype 2 includes two lateral shoulders 21 and a solid protuberant base 22. By deep drawing, the solid protuberant base 22 and the lateral shoulders 21 are respectively drawn and extended to form a front fork section 32 and suspension tube sections 31. By milling, a top surface of each of the lateral shoulders 21 is milled to communicate with the suspension tube section 31. Thereby an integrally-forged suspension fork is obtained. Therefore, the aluminum ingot is processed to obtain the integrally formed suspension front fork 3 with the suspension tube sections 31 and the front fork section 32. The suspension front fork 3 is having high strength and shock resistance under impact of an external force applied to a front wheel of the bike.
