Unlike a typical air spring shock, the K-link system applies force to the rear shock, resulting in more gradual and usable rear wheel travel. The Adept's reduced travel absorbs much of the vibration you encounter. Rugged terrain and endless washboards are now easier to endure. The Adept's suspension evens out the ride, minimizes energy lost on trail impacts and maximizes your endurance. The Adept is one of the stiffest bikes on the market.
Stiffer frames improve rider power efficiency and increase speed and acceleration.
The unique bulged head tube adds even more stiffness to frontal steering, resulting in greater rider control.
