A Bold move for dual suspension frames?

Some dual suspension bikes now allow you to hide your banana in the frame...

How do you measure sag?

 

 

With a lot of effort?

 

Or measure saddle to tyre distance as a % of total travel?

I guess if it keeps it cosy and warm then its great. But if it gets mucky up in there and its hard to clean it may be a mission.

 

Hella cool design though.

Good question in general.

I like the concept because it makes the bike look less complicated and gives you more room if you need to portage the bike and to use a bigger water bottle without having to squeeze it into a tight fitting frame. Also if you live in seriously wet places it could be healthier for the shock......Just not sure how practical it will be in real everyday life

Super cool, but what if you want ProPedal?

 

Quick guess...the knop holding the bars will move a knob / lever that will activate it
