Flexpoint Suspension Technology

1 minute read.

ShopUsing the flexing elements of the rear chainstay and seatstay, FlexPoint Suspension eliminates complex pivots and linkages to provide an effective, lightweight and durable suspension system that’s easy to maintain.

Effective Performance

The proven “single-pivot” suspension design offers trail riders increased control for more confident off-road riding.

Light & Durable

The flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction creates a simple, lightweight and durable system that provides 120mm of rear wheel travel.

Easy Maintenance

FlexPoint offers similar benefits as multi-link suspension systems but without the added costs or the need for frequent maintenance.
