It’s just a Phase…He’ll get over it.

This is the Phase in your life that you will not get over.

Check out the Raleigh Phase Series.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a big fan of 4 bar suspension. For years I rode with a single pivot set up and now that I’ve ridden a few bikes with 4 bar, there’s no going back. Some have asked me “what’s the big deal?!”

Well the big deal is this thing called BOB, Pedal Bob to be exact. Now I’m no engineer, but some how the 4 bar suspension limits the pedal bob on bikes. So what is pedal bob? Basically when you’re on a full suspension bike, the power you put in while pedaling gets transfered to your suspension, causing the rider to bob up and down. You also lose some much needed energy in your legs too.
