Floating Pivot Suspension System

We are proud to design one of the most unique and effective bicycle suspension systems for the most demanding hardcore riders on the planet. The FPS suspension system uses four pivots precisely calculated in positions which determine the start and end leverage ratios, wheel travel, minimum influence of the suspension on pedaling and braking forces. The FPS system can be used on different types of bicycle frames from long travel DH/FR rigs through all mountain and short travel enduro bikes.

Kinematics
The leverage ratio is slightly progressive throughout the suspension travel making it sensitive to small bumps and ramps up in a linear way making it resistant to harsh bottoming.

Hardware
All pivot points have thru axles made from 6Al4V titanium or CrMo steal. All pivots turn around thanks to sealed ball bearings which are oversized, making them resistant to all the forces and riding conditions. Suspension links are cnc machined from top quality 7075 alloy. All these details combined together guarantee extreme stiffness which equals precise steering.

C.O.G.
Thanks to the position of the shock we achieve a perfect Center Of Gravity precisely where it is supposed to be, directlty under the rider and between the front and rear wheel giving a great feeling during cornering and jumps.

Braking forces
FPS suspension remains fully active during hard braking even on big bumps making sure You stay on Your track.
