mada3400 Posted September 20, 2011 Share to start off i don't know if there are even ten but, wateva there are some many ways of making a rear wheel go up and down but there is only one best way.think of lightness, stiffness, goodness at taking small/big bumps, if the crank stays where it is and any other things that rear suspension doeswhat i want to know is:best for XCbest for trailbest for all mountainbest for free ridebest for down hill here are SOME vids of what there is to offer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IdrIAfb-isdon't forget kona, trek, merida, specialized and anything else you know of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 20, 2011 Share I think I speak on behalf of all here when I say that there is no "best" suspension design out there. Single Pivot, VPP etc etc. Each one of them has characteristics that the other does not, and as such will suit different types of riders and have different characteristics in terms of their treatment of the bumpy stuff, and not so bumpy stuff. Some riders prefer a more linear spring rate, some prefer the ease of a single pivot, some prefer the floatiness that the VPP gives. In addition, the marketing departments of each different company will tell you why their design is better than all the rest for that specific application. To narrow it down to best for each specific discipline is like saying that Shell is the best fuel in the world for short circuit racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
