The rear shock mounts low in the frame for a lower center of gravity and better cornering. This combined with the DW-link s anti-squat characteristics makes for a low stiff bike that corners on a dime without the penalties normally associated with a low BB. The DW linkage shown here is mounted on 17mm pivot pins with a double row of EnduroMax bearings for long life and a supple ride. Additionally the short DW link and the 83mm wide bb shell contribute to minimize lateral flex.
