How linear/progressive is your frame?

[skypickle]

In making the choice for a coil/air spring shock, the behavior of the frame is a big part of the suspension. Is there a ‘list’ of frame progressivity/linearity where one can compare different frames?

Subcribe to this channel if you havent already. This young enineer is quite impressive. Heres a SS of one slide in this VID

wow! thank you. but i don't see a levo

Dont think any of his report notes any E-Bikes specifically. But, if the LEVO incorporates the same FSR type suspension, the same principals apply

No they don't

an FSR just means it's a 4 bar with a horst link.
it has absolutely nothing to do with it's leverage curve or progressiveness.

You can use linkage software to plot your bikes pivot placement and calculate it's leverage curve, AS and AR etc. just as andre has.
I shared a link to the software in the suspension guide sticky in the general Emtb forum
