(Part 4 of a series on the Trek Off-Road Tech Update for BGI Staff from Ken Derrico of Trek Bicycle.)
Traditional suspension systems will mount one end of the shock on in a fixed position on the frame. With Full Floater, Jose Gonzalez, Trek Bicycle's Director of Suspension Technology, connects the two ends of the shock to live members of the suspension; the EVO link at the top, and the extension of the chainstay at the bottom. First introduced in 2008, the Full Floater now takes full advantage of the DVRC short, and Active Braking Pivot for a very efficient, compliant suspension system. (Follow this link to YouTube for Jose's detailed explanation of Full Floater.)
The Full Floater is found on all Trek Full suspension bikes, including the Remedy and Fuel series of high performance Trek Bikes Indianapolis, available at both Bicycle Garage Indy-North and Bicycle Garage Indy-South in Greenwood.
That covers the four key elements of Trek's full suspension systems. Watch for future posts on other aspects Trek's off-road bike technology.
