Comparing Vibration On Bicycle Suspension

This video was sent to us by one of our customers. It shows how a Prosig P8000 was used to measure the vibration transmitted through different configurations of bicycle suspension. Two are traditional setups (a rigid bike and a dual suspension one) and the third is a new interconnected suspension (likened to a railway bogie). This new setup can be used effectively to significantly reduce the shock loads transmitted to a rider and to improve the tyre’s (especially the front tyre) contact with the ground to greatly improve steering control.
