<p>Provided is a front fork in which a stroke amount of a spring leg that relies on an air spring can be detected precisely, and in which pressure leaks in the spring leg can be detected. The front fork has: a guide cylinder 11 that extends from one of a vehicle body-side tube 2B or an axle-side tube 2A that make up a spring leg 2; a piston 12 that is mounted to the leading end of a guide rod 17 that extends from the other one of the tubes; an inner air spring chamber 6 that is partitioned by the piston 12 in the interior of the guide cylinder 11; an outer air spring chamber 5 that is partitioned, outward of the inner air spring chamber 6, in the interior of the vehicle body-side tube 2B and the axle-side tube 2A; first detector 14 for detecting pressure and temperature in the outer air spring chamber 5; second detector 15 for detecting pressure and temperature in the inner air spring chamber 6; and stroke detection compensator 100 for detecting a stroke amount on the basis of the outputs of the first and second detector 14.</p> |
