If you don't want to take our word for it, he's what Bike Magazine had to say: "The axle path is the key to a good suspension design, the 'Horst link design" creates a near vertical rear wheel axle path which all but eliminates suspension feedback and offers a smooth ride. The Horst 4-bar linkage is still the design standard to judge suspension performance by." Bike Magazine, July 05

 

The 2008 DH/Freeride line was designed to help riders attain three goals: speed, control, and flight. Although we improve frame design and pull together a stellar parts package every season, the core of these bikes still continues to be their unequaled Horst link 4-bar suspension design. As the highest rated Full-Suspension DH bike on MTBR.com's Reader Reviews, we're confident you'll agree.
