[[File:ImgFourbarSwing.png|alt=four-bar linkage design art|thumb|<ref>https://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/211_fall2010.web.dir/Michael_Stanfill/FourBar.html</ref>]] ==Overview== Horst-Link (Four-Bar) [[Linkage]]:<blockquote>Horst-link (aka four-bar) suspension โ as used by Specialized, Norco, and newer Transitions (as well as many others) โ is marked out by a rear pivot located below the rear axle on the chainstay (rather than the seatstay as with the โfaux-barโ). This means the rear axle is not directly connected to the mainframe, and so moves in a path which is defined by its Instant Centre and Centre of curvature, which may move as the suspension cycles through its travel. Depending on the position of the Instant Centre, the effect of braking forces on the suspension (known as anti-rise) can be reduced relative to a single pivot design.<ref>Stott, Seb. โThe ultimate guide to mountain bike rear suspension systems.โย 02 October 2018, <nowiki>https://www.bikeradar.com/features/the-ultimate-guide-to-mountain-bike-rear-suspension-systems</nowiki>.</ref> </blockquote> ==History== ==Design== ==Bikes With Horst-Link (Four-Bar)== ==External links== * [https://www.bikeradar.com/features/the-ultimate-guide-to-mountain-bike-rear-suspension-systems The ultimate guide to mountain bike rear suspension systems] ==References== <references /> [[Category: Linkage]]
