Link suspension system

摘要

A bicycle includes a frame having a longitudinal axis, a first member, and a first pivot link assembly including a first link configured to rotate around a first pivot point. The first pivot point may have a first axis of rotation that is non-orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the first frame, and the first frame may be coupled with the first member through the first pivot link assembly. Some examples also include a second pivot link assembly including a second link configured to rotate around a second pivot point having an axis of rotation that is non-orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the frame.

1. A bicycle comprising:
a front frame having a longitudinal axis; a rear frame operably associated with the front frame; a suspension system operably coupled to the front frame and to the rear frame, the suspension system comprising:
a first pivot link assembly including a first link configured to rotate around a first pivot point coupled to the rear frame, with the first link connected to a second link having a second pivot point coupled to the front frame, the first pivot point having a first axis of rotation that is non-orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the front frame and the second pivot point having a second axis of rotation that is non-orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the front frame.
