2Stage Strengths 2 Rebound Speeds: The first shock is set fast for small repetitive bumps, like stutter bumps. The second shock is set slower so the rider doesn’t get bucked after a large obstacle or landing. Square Edge Bumps: Square edge bumps (rocks and logs) always want to deflect the rear wheel rearwards and upwards. The second stage axle path moves the wheel with the force of the bump with no loss in momentum and no stalling effect. Jump Pop: Because only one shock is set up plush for small bumps, the second shock is set up with a high pressure spring so it maintains excellent pop off jumps, flying you higher and further. Floating Brake: The floating brake uncouples the braking from the suspension, so you can brake as late as you like, even in the rough, and the suspension won’t go harsh on you. Constant Wheelbase: Because the rear axle path is rearward and upward, it compliments the action of your front fork so your wheelbase doesn’t get shorter and your stability is greatly improved. Simplicity: There are only two main pivots. The 2Stage system is essentially a single pivot on top of a single pivot. It’s not as complicated as you might fi rst think. Low Maintenance: Count the amount of pivot bolts in our system and you should come up with four, one at each end of each shock. Even a single pivot bike has at least three. Each shock does half the work, so ends up having increased reliability.

Reviews... [Reviewer]: "The minimal effort required to get the 2Stage in the air is almost telepathic” “It pedals extremely well, floats across high speed stutters like a hovercraft and jumps like a champ."
