TractionLink shrugs off the hardest impacts and the smallest bumps, smoothing out terrain and delivering continuous grip even in the most demanding situations. This provides safety reserves and a sense of refinement to the bike, requiring less effort and letting you fully concentrate on the trail.

01

During acceleration, turning, braking maneuvers or on rough ground—if there is no grip, you'll lose control of your bike. To prevent this from happening, we have developed the new TractionLink kinematics with a intelligent pivot point. For increased riding comfort, total control, optimized pedaling efficiency, and best possible braking characteristics.

TractionLink allows us to achieve a remarkably balanced relationship between pedaling efficiency and sensitive rear triangle performance. It prevents squatting and saves energy so that your power goes straight into propulsion. The bike remains steady when riding out of the saddle and the suspension doesn´t block when braking, keeping the wheel on the ground. For increased traction, improved control and higher speeds.

The unique design of the rear triangle gives your bike exceptionally responsive damping characteristics, excellent shock absorption and the best possible grip. For increased bike control, efficient pedaling and optimized braking performance. 

Rear Triangle
Kinematics

vertical axle path

Thanks to the intelligent pivot point of the TractionLink kinematics, the rear wheel does not trace a curve during compression, but moves in the vertical plane instead. As a result, the bike maintains its geometry even when fully compressed, so that the ride characteristics do not vary.

The unique TractionLink construction uses suspension travel very sensitively while the super-stiff one-piece rockers transmit forces to the shock with no play.
