MTB Suspension Kinematics Explained: Leverage Ratio, Anti-Squat, Progressivity and Setup
A plain-language guide to MTB rear suspension kinematics: leverage ratio and progressivity, instant centre, anti-squat, anti-rise and braking, sag, spring choice and the rebound curb test. Learn to...
Mountain Bike Geometry Trends 2026: What’s Changed and Where It’s Heading
The average trail bike head angle went from 68 degrees in 2016 to 64.8 today, then stopped moving. Inside the 2026 geometry trends: reach plateau, proportional chainstays, high-pivot suspension going...
Best Enduro eMTBs of 2026: Geometry, Power and Value Compared
Eight of the strongest enduro eMTBs of 2026 compared on geometry, motor power, suspension, and value, updated for the Bosch 120 Nm firmware and the DJI Avinox M2S.
Mountain bike geometry is the collection of angles and measurements that define how your frame is shaped — and ultimately how your bike handles on the trail. Whether you're shopping for a new ride,...
eMTB Geometry vs Motor: Should You Prioritize the Drive System or the Chassis?
Peak eMTB torque tripled to 150 Nm while the geometry gap to acoustic bikes shrank to almost nothing. Why torque and frame shape are now separate decisions, an updated 9-motor table, and a practical...
Air Shock Simulator: Modeling Your Rear Shock’s Spring Curve Before You Add a Token
An air shock simulator is a gas law model of your shock's positive and negative chambers. Here is a worked model showing what volume spacers, hit speed and leverage really do to the spring curve.
