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, a shifting mechanism and a lockout mechanism. The activating mechanism can activate a rotational motion and is fitted around the shifting mechanism. The lockout mechanism includes a non-deforming unit and a deformable unit, one of which is mounted on the activating mechanism while the other unit is associated with the shifting mechanism. When a handle of the activating mechanism 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 to an unmovable state or a movable state, respectively, relative to the activating mechanism, which in turn disables or enables the shock absorber, respectively.
