The Dartmoor frames are based on a well-designed single
pivot suspension that uses the damper extension yoke for
superior performance.
On the one hand, when the user is struggling with difficult
climbs using low gear, he can enjoy high pedaling efficien-
cy with anti-squad properties of around 100%.On the oth-
er hand, when it hits the toughest descents at high gear,
it uses 160mm of full travel, the suspension design gives
a pedal kickback of less than 2%. This results in less fa-
tigue during descents, because the legs do not have to
absorb the energy of so many hits.
The suspension kinematics of our frames are linear, the
configuration is completely up to the user and his prefer-
ences, depending on how the user tunes the rear shock
using the tokens. From a more progressive with a limited
air chamber for those who like bigger jumps, to a more lin-
ear curve using a full stroke for those who prefer demand-
ing trails rather than hitting huge drops. Nevertheless,
the suspension is only „half the battle”. Equipped with
a rigid 17mm axis of rotation, the linkage of the swingarm
to the front triangle, it spins on three Max bearings (with
increased ball count) with LLU full contact seals filled
with high-quality Mobil synthetic grease, providing bet-
ter protection against dust and water. Fewer pivot points
in the designed suspension structure give less chance of
catching a play in the bearings. Therefore, when buying
a Dartmoor frame, the future owner receives the perfect
equipment to overcome the most demanding routes.
