We have optimised the pivot points and use the forces exerted by the chain on the chassis to our advantage. The annoying bobbing is a thing of the past and this has all been achieved without any Lockout. Bobbing results from the periodically changing load on the pedals while the legs are accelerating and the constant up and down of the body. Smaller gears are affected more than bigger gear ratios. To suppress it, the chain of our Anti-Squat-Chassis pulls the suspension apart thereby compensating excessive bob. The key: The kinematics is designed so that this effect is more tangible while in small gears, and less in the big gears. Hence, the shock needs neither a lockout nor an excessive rebound. The rear triangle thus performs more sensitively and offers more comfort and traction.

Conical steerer tubes have been fitted as standard on Canyon racing bikes for many years. Equipment manufacturers now offer suitable forks for mountain bikes. The advantage: A disproportionally high degree of stiffness is achieved in the head tube with only a minimal increase in weight. The Onepointfive lower bearing doesn't flinch when subjected to loads on blocked trails, while the 1 1/8 inch upper bearing reduces the weight to levels suitable for racing.
