[Press Release] – Our full suspension models use the dw-link suspension platform. This system delivers efficient pedaling performance though pivot placement instead of shock tune. That climbing efficiency means that unlike many other suspension layouts, our bikes don’t require loads of compression damping to control pedal bob. Our suspension kinematics do the hard work.
Because we don’t need a lot of compression damping, we’ve pushed our suspension partners to develop lighter compression tunes. These lighter tunes make it easy for the rear wheel to get out of the way, allowing your bike to better absorb a bump. As we went progressively lighter, we found the shocks couldn’t rebound as fast as they could compress.
So the bike could soak up a hit but the shock couldn’t push the wheel down fast enough to track the backside of...
