Lockout causes a suspension system to go rigid and act like a normal "unsprung" bike Lockout is useful in two ways: first, it prevents the suspension from "bobbing" when a rider is pedaling on flat road or uphill; and second, it reduces the height of suspension forks (on some models) which has benefits for riding uphill Bobbing is regarded as inefficient and annoying, although good design and changes in riding style have made this less of a problem than it was Most suspension forks are quite long and when riding up a steep slope, this causes the rider's weight to be a long way back on the bike Consequently, it is very easy to lift the front wheel off the ground with a powerful stroke, leading to "wandering" steering and interrupting the rider Not all suspension forks get shorter when locked out, but if you can find one that does, you will probably find lockout to be a very useful feature
