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; a rear frame operably associated with the front frame and pivotally coupled to a mounting bracket; and a suspension system operably coupled to the front frame and to the rear frame and comprising a shock assembly; wherein the rear frame is pivotally coupled to the suspension system so as to define a pivot point between the rear frame and the suspension system, and wherein the pivot point and at least a portion of the mounting bracket are configured to travel along a substantially linear path in a first direction and in a substantially linear path in a second direction opposite the first direction as the shock assembly articulates.
