"If efficiency were the only factor demanding attention, it would be fairly simple. During this last decade, the cycling sport has evolved from an endurance sport into a power-endurance sport. The influence of biomechanic and aerodynamic research is gaining importance. The goal is to find a cycling position in which power is maximally converted into motion."

What is Horst Link?
The Horst Link is a term for a four-bar rear suspension which attached the rear axle to the seat stay instead of the swingarm. Horst Leitner, the link's namesake, discovered that the design separates braking and pedaling forces from the rear suspension. Instead of chain tension and braking, causing "brake jack" or pedal "kick back", the Horst Link allows the wheel to move freely in a vertical path. In fact, the Horst Link will cycle up and down with the rear tire locked nearly as well as it will when it is rolling, because the axle is on the seatstay and the seatstay is "decoupled" from the suspension. A Horst Link design is often referred to as a "fully active" system, meaning it's free to compress and rebound at all times, both when the rider is in the saddle and standing up. Not only is the suspension independent from chain forces under pedaling loads, but it allows you to maintain an efficient pedal stroke since the suspension action has no effect on it.

model: six three
comments: the norco six is the greatest bike ever! it will handle what any freerider can throw at it. As far as the weight goes no bike that can handle what the six can is as light. People think that they need more than six inches of travel but check out some of the pics and videos of ben boyko and jay hoots. bottom line is the six is the greatest value that you can get for a great bike.
