FeaturesICT 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. Custom 12" 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. Force Vector (Carbon Composite Frames) Carbon fibers are stranded in a single orientation that creates an anisotropic property (a material with different strength characteristics in different directions). This material attribute can be detrimental to the finished product if not characterized in design, engineering and production. Ellsworth has extensively tested and analyzed force-vectors in bike frames for over 20 years of cutting-edge frame production. The result is an enhanced life and feel of the finished bike frame. Utilizing the unique character of anisotropic material management, Ellsworth creates astounding performance from its Rare Earth Carbon Composite frames.
