(chief) Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Hi well i found this on biketrial.eu maybe a repost. Just wondering what you guys think of it?in my opinion its is horible because you don't need suspension in trials you will just lose all your preload.I also don't see how it can swing because there looks to be no pivot point in the frame and not to mention the extra added weight. if you where to have one would you run a soft or hard shock??? http://www.biketrial.eu/ chris Edited May 23, 2007 by (chief) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam_thornton Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Looks pretty cool, but in the video it doesn't look like it works or makes any difference.And there is a pivot point, just behind the bb shell.

gianttrials Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) doesnt look like alot of travel maybe 1/2" looks really cool though and seems to handle trials well by the look of it in the video, theres probably minimal extra weight if any aswell Edited May 23, 2007 by gianttrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Beck Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 i may be have a stupidity moment but could a shock or suspention point be reversed so that it would create more spring, like having a higher pressure and very high rebound??lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works in mototrials so it's not an impossible idea.Dave Edited May 24, 2007 by monkeyseemonkeydo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 leave him alone for re-posting it nmc 'cause not everyone will check mc and they still get to see it+discuss it. ogre likes the idea of suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod Man Leo Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Dosent look like it makes that much of a diference to be honest.It will probably cost a arm and a leg, looks heavy from my point of view.But its good to see some evolution with air shock and trials riding!

kenzo604 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I don't feel that this video is a fair test really. He obviously has the shock at quite a high pressure/tension and he isn't preloading any extra to riding a normal bike to make the shock work. If he were preloading for longer and allowing the suspension to actually be used then this could be a revelation within the trials community.if you look at the worlds best side hoppers you will notice how much they preload. Their tyres bottom out so they are nearly rimming on the floor, so if CLS or someone got hold of this, it would allow an even bigger explosion upwards due to the extra compression, allowing unthinkable side hop heights (In Theory).
