General

Accessories	Maxle Lite rear axle
Features	Mp4: All great engineering is based on simplicity. Find the most elemental solution possible, refine it, reduce the complexity, and you’re done. And that’s how our mp4 suspension has evolved. Our mp4 designs rely on a single primary pivot, located just above and behind the bottom bracket centerline. Because this single pivot takes most of the load we don’t need a plethora of heavy bearings—just two really good ones. And because everything happens at this one location, we can place it in such a way that it minimizes braking influences, reduces pedal kickback and unwanted movement due to chain tension. The seatstay pivot improves geometry with a consistently near-vertical axle path throughout the wheel’s travel, for better suspension movement over tiny stutters and big hits alike. And structurally, the bell-crank helps shore up the rear triangle against lateral movement and improves torsional rigidity so the rear wheel stays in plane—there’s no wandering or fishtailing because the axle’s so well controlled.
