A Team Effort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our ambition is here to stay. We successfully built a static bike, but it was time to innovate and push ourselves to create a dynamic full-suspension single pivot bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project began with sorting out each design challenge step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Dynamic & Changing Load Distribution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Range of Motion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Hardware Mounting & Machining <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Controlling Torsion & Critical Stress Points<\/p>\n<\/div>

Personality & Geometry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Full suspension bikes come with exponentially more options for fitment and feel. Through our countless hours of research, mentorship, and SynBike <\/a>testing, we decided on an objective. A 100% anti-squat Linkage-Driven Single Pivot (LDSP) bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bike will become the do-it-all mountain bike, where the only riding limitation is your own ambition. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
