Anti-Squat: Effortless Ascends

Tired of feeling like you’re pedaling through peanut butter every time the trail points upwards? We felt that too. So, we got to work and engineered our Hidden Link System with class-leading anti-squat capabilities to keep your ride feeling sprightly, no matter the gradient. This ensures that your pedal power translates directly to forward motion, so climbs feel more “whoa” and less “woe.” It’s all about keeping your energy on the trail, where it belongs.

Anti-Rise: Descend with Confidence

For those who live for the downhill rush, we’ve baked in some seriously impressive anti-rise technology into our system. This means when it’s time to drop anchor and slow things down, your bike remains as stable as a seasoned sea captain in a storm. No more unnerving weight shifts or back-end surprises – just smooth, controlled descents that let you channel your inner downhill demon, worry-free.

Progressive Suspension: Tailored to the Trail

Here’s where our holistic approach really shines. The Hidden Link System isn’t just about reacting to the trail; it’s about being one with it. Our progressive suspension curve ensures a ride that’s plush and forgiving over the chatter but ready to stand firm against the big hits. It’s a nuanced balance, ensuring you get a ride that’s both buttery smooth and ruggedly reliable, adapting seamlessly to whatever the trail throws your way.

Our holistic approach to the Hidden Link System means we’ve considered every aspect of your ride, from the exhilarating highs of the peaks to the heart-racing thrills of the descents.

A Comprehensive Guide to Converting Your Patrol Mountain Bike to Tubeless Bliss

Switching to tubeless tires offers benefits like reduced puncture risk due to internal sealant, lower rolling resistance for a smoother ride, and enhanced traction from running lower pressures without pinch flats. The process involves using tubeless-ready components and following steps to remove existing tires, apply rim tape, and install valves and tires, then adding sealant and inflating. Tubeless conversion results in a lighter, more agile, and responsive ride.

Nailing Sag: A Guide to Setting Up Your Full Suspension Patrol Mountain Bike

Setting proper sag is vital for a Patrol Mountain bike’s performance. A shock pump, tape measure, and assistant are needed for measuring the suspension compression under the rider’s weight. Optimal sag should be between 25-30% for the rear shock and 15-20% for the front fork. Adjusting the air pressure fine-tunes the ride, with regular checks advised for maintaining the ideal setting.
