1. Is
Isolink a 4bar design?
Yes! Just like most bikes. Isolink belongs to the family
of short-link 4-bar bikes (VPP, Maestro, DW), with a
rear wheel member connected to the main frame by two
short links.
2. Is Isolink heavier than
other 4-bar designs?
An Isolink bike would weigh as much as any other
short-link 4-bar bike.
3. Is Isolink only for
trailbikes?
We designed Isolink to be applied to all ride
disciplines from XC to DH. Same design, different looks.
4. Is Isolink available?
Soon. Watch out for it!
5. Do I need a special
rear shock if I get an Isolink frame?
No need. Isolink frames will work with both air and coil
shocks preferably with rebound adjustments.
Each Isolink bike is designed with the kind of shock and
type of riding in mind. XC/trail bikes typically use air
shocks which are inherently progressive. We therefore
design the leverage ratios to minimize the harshness of
progression. AM/FR/DH bikes typically use linear coil
shocks. The leverage ratios have a built-in progression
to minimize bottom outs.
6. Will there be an
Isolink DH bike?
Absolutely ! The Isolink design is ideal for DH since it
can provide 0% anti Rise to achieve the "floating brake"
feel, and any other preferred anti-Rise level.
Using floating brakes is a matter of preference. Some
like it, some don't. The use of floating brakes actually
gives constant 0% anti-rise. We can technically design
an Isolink DH bike with the exact feel of floating
brakes.
All three inventors ride DH by the way.
7. Is the rearshock
subjected to more stress on the Isolink vs other 4-bar
designs?
No more than any other short-link 4-bar bike.
8. Will Isolink work on
1x9 setups? 2 x 9? single speed fullsus? any
preferences?
Isolink works for all chain-ring setups, but the
suspension works best at the middle chainring.
9. Is Isolink for racing?
Very much so! Isolink bikes are designed to be as light,
stiff and efficient as can be. Race it. No excuses!
10. Is Isolink for the
recreational rider?
Heck yeah! We are weekend warriors ourselves. How do you
think we found the time to make this?! :)
11. Will Isolink make me
win races?
Only if you promise to train hard. |
