What shock fits my bike?

Would like to eventually upgrade my stock Suntour fork to something better and lighter. How do I figure out what front shock would fit my Cannondale 29er? Are front forks universal in size?

No they are not. You would need to find one with a similar amount of travel, as well as if it is QR (quick release) or thru axle. You would also need a 29er specific fork, as a 26 fork would not work.

keep in mind that Cannondale head tubes are "different". Looking at the spec of the bike on Cannondale's site, it says that the stock fork has a 1.5" headtube. That gives you a lot of flexibility, however if you want to install anything OTHER than a 1.5" steerer, you will also need a new headset.
