What kinematics is, and why it matters
Kinematics is the nerd word for what your suspension feels like and how it behaves. It's also where most of the bad behavior in a bike comes from. If you've ever experienced overly squishy suspension every pedal stroke, or a really harsh ride even though you're using all the travel, or, a total loss of traction while pedaling or braking, that all traces back to choices the designers made — or didn't make — about kinematics.
Spot Living Link bikes don't do those things. We obsess over the nuances of suspension behavior because it makes the difference between a confident bike and a sketchy one. We know that as riders, our most precious resource is energy. so we toil over features that preserve it. It's why once riders discover Spot, they never want to ride anything else.
