Suspension Platforms Explained

from The Roller Door · host Hannah Mirsepassi

VPP, Four Bar, Flex Stay... what defines each of these suspension platforms and how does that translate to the ride feel of your bike? What does it all mean! In this episode of the Roller Door, Hannah gets into the suspension weeds with Kiran MacKinnon and Josh Kissner. These two product managers have helped shape every Santa Cruz bike made in the past 10+ years and spend hours upon hours dialing in the suspension kinematics that we all feel but maybe don't fully understand. We attempt to lift the veil into the mysterious world of leverage curves and more, and understand why each platform is utilized. Questions or comments? Email [email protected] Thanks for listening!
