Sine and Air Shocks Explained
// Designed for Perfection
If you’ve read about Alchemy’s mountain lineup, you likely know that the key to an Arktos is the Sine suspension system. Sine is interesting because it allows for a varied ratio of compression force from the rear wheel to the rear shock as the suspension moves through its travel. Technically, we talk about it in these terms: regression at the start of the travel in order to allow the Arktos to absorb small bumps and provide climbing traction, progression in middle of the shock stroke to get the bike into the meat of the travel, and regression again at the end to allow the bike to hit its full travel.
