OSP – Open-Source Pivot

A long-time coming, our Element Fullys started without pre-conceived notions.
Engineering for the Element Fullys frame was jointly conducted in Germany and Canada.
   
  The Element Fullys might look simple, but the result is every detail is considered and for a reason.
  On a blank sheet of paper, we analyzed these key points:
 
 
  • Pivot Location
  • Pedal Reaction
  • Shock Rate
  • Standover Height
  • Maintenance
  • Axle-Path
  • Bump Reaction
  • Lateral Stiffness
  • Number of Pivots
  • Marketing “B.S.”
 
 
 
 
   
  The surprising results of this analysis lead to the most efficient conclusion:
A carefully positioned single main-pivot is the equivalent of a multi-pivot design.
