Full Floater design places shock mounts on two moving linkages for a precision tuned system that has initial small bump compliance, great mid-stroke control and seemingly bottomless travel.
One-piece EVO Link adds stiffness and reduces weight. Aluminum and magnesium links.
R1i system that builds on R1 system of optimized single pivot rocker link and category-specific geometry. R1i is R1 plus ABP, Full Floater and EVO Link technologies.
130mm front wheel and 120mm rear wheel travel.
