| '''Anti-squat''' is a fundamental attribute of bicycle suspension systems aimed at mitigating pedal-induced movement, commonly referred to as pedal bob, during cycling. It denotes the degree of resistance exhibited by the suspension to compression forces generated by pedaling, thereby influencing the bicycle's overall pedaling efficiency. Anti-squat force acts in opposition to the squat force, which arises from acceleration and tends to compress the rear suspension. This resistance originates from two primary sources: the driving force exerted by the rear wheel and the chain-pull force. The driving force is transmitted through the swingarm line, a theoretical linkage connecting the rear axle to the instant center of the suspension system, effectively counteracting the inclination of the bike's mainframe to compress under acceleration. Simultaneously, the chain-pull force arises from the tension within the chain, inducing a downward pull on the rear wheel relative to the mainframe, thus counterbalancing the mainframe's tendency to squat during pedaling efforts. Conceptually, the tension in the chain opposes the upward displacement of the cassette from the chainring during suspension compression, thereby exerting a downward force on the swingarm.
