jagwil Posted October 22, 2009 Share Please guys when referring to a bicycle it is DUAL Suspension not duel suspension. duel (plural duels)Combat between two persons, often over a matter of honor. A struggle between two contending persons, groups or ideas.dual 1. Characterized by having two (usually equivalent) components. 2.
