| Features | ICT:
Internationally patented and quantifiably the most energy-efficient suspension design in the World, ICT tuned four-bar linkage design provides a true zero-energy loss to suspension function. By aligning the instant center on the chain torque line and continually tracking the chain torque throughout the range of travel, ICT is accomplished without the need of a lockout. This keeps the suspension fully active and always on, resulting in increased traction and control, and reduced rider fatigue. ICT suspension is internationally acclaimed and continues to set the bench mark for suspension performance.
SST Tubing:
Our tubes have been optimized for strength, rigidity, weight, and tube joint interfaces. The tubes are tapered, swaged and shaped providing more control over the precise wall thickness that occurs when the tube takes its final shape. SST.2 tubes transmit all the possible torque a rider may dish out, while maintaining alignment of critical suspension points to ensure the best possible ride.
Custom 12mm Sex Pins:
Ellsworth's full suspension bikes utilize a carefully developed attachment system of oversize bearings with the seats and housings, resulting in only a SINGLE bolt-per-pivot assembly. In addition to ensuring accuracy and flawless articulation of the suspension without flex, slop, or binding, the sex pin reduces the need for multiple parts, keeping the Ellsworth full suspension bikes durable, easy to maintain and simple.
Asymmetrical Void Hollow Chain Stay:
One of the most highly engineered parts on Ellsworth full suspension bicycles, the asymmetrical, CNC machined chain stays have been scrutinized and minimized to provide an incredible strength-to-weight ratio. This section is precision aligned to maintain proper wheel tracking and strict, unencumbered suspension movement. The geometry, combined with ICT, moves the precision bearings further apart which acts to stiffen the tail section and minimize bearing play.
Circumferential Tube-to-Tube Welding:
Prior to welding our frames, each tube is milled by hand to align exactly in position before welding. Each tube is then welded around the entire interface, without gaps, for maximum strength and to improve overall efficiency by eliminating unwanted frame flex. This meticulous practice eliminates creaks, extends the life of the frame and provides durability. |
