THE FELT VIRTUE MOUNTAIN BIKE

After nearly three years of extensive testing, evaluation, and R&D, a revolutionary and patented suspension technology named Equilink is born. The magic of the system lies within the red Equillink positioned vertically behind the seat tube. This innovative yet amazingly simple link counteracts weight transfer on its own, allowing the drivetrain to do only what it was meant to do; propel the rider forward. By equalizing the forces of acceleration and rider input, the suspension remains open and active while moving you forward with the greatest efficiency. Fast - Unrivaled efficiency. No bob. No pedal kickback. Always predictable and consistent. Active in and out of the saddle. Sensitive to the smallest of bumps. Simple -Tunability is an option -- not a requirement. No hard-to-find sweet spot. Whether it's initial set-up, on the trail adjustment, pro-tuning, and servicing, simplicity is what Equilink delivers. Finally, a single suspension design platform that possesses it all, and one that can be applied to any riding discipline. Equilink technology has first been employed on our all-new Virtue series of high-performance Endurance/All-Mountain models delivering over 5" (130mm) of amazingly fluid and ultra-efficient travel. And you can be certain than more applications are on the way. Revolutionary. Patented. Fast & Simple -- THE EQUILINK EXPERIENCE.

The peddling bob-forces are negated. Ride one.

This actually doesn't sound like a bad idea for what's out there. But chain tension is not the only factor in bobbing. In my experience WEIGHT and PEDALING are the main forces in bobbing.

He repeats himself a bit and the people in the background make quite a noice...nit picking! Say what you want, the proof is in the riding. I have been on a Virtue1 (08) and Virtue2 (07) and can say with confidence that this is one of the best pedalling platforms. Compared to other FS bikes this bike squads and bob a lot less and is blindingly fast. Definately wirth a test ride

gears aren't gizmos...

That's pretty interesting. I've often wondered how the Equilink system worked. The theory is interesting but as others have said, what about the bob that orginates from the rider's weight loading and unloading the suspension during each crank rotation?

Sorry but this guy has made me think about suspention in a totaly diferent way, oh & yes you do get bob from a hardtail, its only fully rigid bikes that dont bob.

is he wearing fake eyelashes?

I can understand what he's saying but not all bob comes from chain tension, a large amount comes from the rider bouncing up and down, that's why URTs still bob. The only bikes that don't suffer with bob are hardtails.

instead of bashing full suspension or hard tails, why not just agree that Riding Is Good!! regardless of what kind of bike you have. whether you are a weight weenie with full carbon hardtail or a gravity junkie with 10in of travel in the frame, GO RIDE!! it's the best thing for mental health and well-being. just do it!

Sold my Santa cruz superlight, I now ride hardtail.. singlespeed hardtail. One gear is all I need. no gizmos,
