MOUNTAIN BIKE SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

Focusing on the impact of mountain bike suspension systems, this book explores how these systems enhance rider performance and comfort while potentially reducing fatigue and energy expenditure. It examines the controversial notion that rear suspension may actually hinder performance by dissipating energy. Through an investigation of dynamic loads on both the bike frame and rider, the book also delves into the psychological and physiological effects of rear suspension on cross-country cycling, offering a comprehensive analysis of this critical aspect of cycling technology.
