A rear shock assembly for a bicycle has a pair of chain stays, a pair of seat stays, a lever and a shock absorber. The pair of chain stays is pivotally connected to the frame of the bicycle. A rear fork tip is formed on one end of each chain stay. One end of each seat stay is pivotally connected to one of the rear fork tips. The lever is pivotally connected to the frame of the bicycle. The lever has a central connection point, a first end pivotally connected to the pair of seat stays and a second end. The shock absorber is pivotally connected between the second end of the lever and one of the rear fork tips. With such an arrangement, the leverage of the rear shock assembly is reduced and is nearly unity. The force applied to the shock absorber is reduced. The useful life of the shock absorber is prolonged.
