This pivot location also maximises active suspension when using the rear brake similar to a floating brake design without the added weight Rearward Axle path:åÊBecause of the main pivot location the Sommet has 66mm of travel with reward axle path helping to keep your momentum Leverage rate design:åÊThe leverage rate is designed to have a falling rate to sag point then go mildly progressive; this helps the bike sit comfortably in the sag position with a stable platform. The lower shock mount moves forward with the suspension, this helps to keep a linier rate without falling off at full travel. This movement also reduces the shock angle change at full travel reducing side loads and improving the reliability of the shock Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
