//Ultimate Efficiency
Simultaneously engineered anti-squat and wheel rate
curves are the mathematical formulas that make the dw-link
the world’s most efficient and traction-aiding suspension
system.
//Position Sensitive Anit-Squat
Newton’s 3rd law states that every action has an equal
and opposite reaction. When a vehicle accelerates, the reaction
is that its mass is transferred rearward. dw-link’s patented
position sensitive anti-squat perfectly balances this rearward
mass transfer, increasing efficiency, traction, and bump sensi-
tivity, and eliminating pedal feedback as well.
//Wheel Rate
Each dw-link frame is engineered for an optimum wheel
rate and to work for a specific use with a specific spring and
damper. Unlike other suspension systems, dw-link’s does not
rely on pedaling platform type dampers, giving the best bump
absorption and traction of any suspension available today.
Advanced riders use these traits to pump terrain in the trail
and add momentum.
//Braking Stability
The dw-link suspension projects its instant center to an
ideal location, achieving a balance of traction and stability
under hard braking that is unmatched by other suspensions
designs.
//Least Pedal Feedback
Perception of pedal feedback on a mountain bicycle is a
manifestation of rapid chainstay length change and gearing
effects. dw-link uses a smooth and positive chainstay lengthen-
ing effect to offset negative gearing effects. This results in a
smooth ride with imperceptible pedal feedback over the entire
gear range.
//Amazing Traction
As the dw-link suspension reacts to obstacles, its position
sensitive axle path intelligently changes to meet the demands
of the trail. In the beginning of the travel, its rearward profile
gives incredible small bump absorption and traction on the climbs.
In the middle of the travel, the dw-link axle path works with
the front suspension to provide a balanced feel for amazing
cornering confidence and jumping ability. The end of the travel
provides an increase in compression damping for bottomless
suspension feel and big hit absorption.
//Structural Superiority
dw-link uses short, stiff links, and a triangulated rear
swingarm. This unique layout aligns suspension forces in the
most efficient manner possible to enable frame designs with
industry leading strength-to-weight ratios and stiffness. This
structural advantage lets dw-link riders put down power more
efficiently and track straight in the bumps where others veer
off course.
