On a high pivot design, any time
that the pivot is above the chainline, you have a significant affect
when you when you put force on the pedal. Pedal force on a high pivot
design causes the suspension to want to top out. When that's the case,
some of your pedal force is going into moving the suspension, rather
than moving you forward, and it's inhibiting your rear suspension from
compressing in a free way. So it's not an active design...not giving you
the maximum benefit that it could." "Also, as you're hitting
bumps, the suspension motion is causing your pedal stroke to be
disrupted. That's very detrimental in terms of the maximum efficiency in
generating forward motion." |
