Description: The SB66 was designed to be the ultimate 6” trail bike. The result of over two years of R&D, it begs to be ridden fast over rough terrain and will reward the rider who pushes it hard with precisely controlled travel, unbeliev- able pedaling performance, and predictable cornering.
The unique handling characteristics of
the SB66 are the product of its low/slack geometry and Switch Technology
Looking a bit like a single pivot design, the SB-66 actually is a dual link design, called "switch technology", The bottom 'link is actually an eccentric assembly that creates a micro link that continuously repositions the lower pivot of the swing arm throughout the range of travel.
In the first part of the travel , the micro link pulls the swing arm backwards conteracting chain forces giving the bike excellent anti-squat characteristics.
As the bike moves past the optimum sag position, the linkage rotates in the opposite direction controlling the chain growth, which is necessary to stop pedal feedback allowing for uninhibited suspension performance.
The eccentric pivot assembly is low-maintenance, fully sealed and provides a stiff interface between the swing arm and front triangle.
It is patent pending and has been tested in the field and in the lab for nearly two years.
The minimized distance between the eccentric assembly and link pivot enables us to
design these into a single forged part. This allows us to hold tight tolerances and ensures the suspension characteristics are the same on every bike.
