Digit's ANALOG technology is an all-new, pedal-efficient, multilink rear suspension, requiring fewer parts than even single-pivot designs. Fewer parts result in reduced weight, increased stiffness, improved reliability, reduced friction, reduced linkage free-play, and lower costs. The frame accommodates two large bottles inside the front triangle, and its straight seat tube allows for >200mm dropper posts, even on small sizes. The rear shock absorber can be serviced by any competent suspension technician with standard bike-workshop tools. The first model, DATUM, delivers 140mm rear travel (with a 150mm fork). Additional models will be developed for longer and shorter travel disciplines.
Digit Bikes bringt neuen Schwung, beziehungsweise eine neue Federung in den Rahmenbau von Mountainbikes. Der Proof of Concept zeigt, was kinematisch mit einem integrierten Federsystem machbar ist. Durch die Integration in das Oberrohr und Unterrohr hat der Rahmen ein eigenständiges, aufgeräumtes Design.
