PRO1 - Pedal efficiency

The Pro 10 suspension system uses four pivots located at exactly calculated positions to determine a wheel travel path that minimizes any influence from the suspension to the pedals and vice versa. When the suspension compresses the length of the upper chain line remains the same, leaving no means to transfer forces from the suspension to the pedals.

PRO2 - Suspension Kinematics

All PROPAIN bikes that use the Pro10 rear suspension system have linear suspension kinematics over the whole shock stroke, which ensures that the complete travel is used efficiently. Only at the very end of travel the shock to rear wheel travel ratio is higher so you will not bottom out on big drops and jumps.

Pro 3 - Floating shock design

The shock is compressed from both sides by the levers. This helps to create the unique suspension kinematics that make PROPAIN bikes so smooth and fast.

 

 

 

Pro 4 - Bearings

Pivots on mountain bikes have always been a cause of trouble. That’s why PROPAIN only uses high quality ball bearings. Large diameters ensure that the bearings can cope with all forces that act on them. To further minimise these forces the distance between the two bearings from each pivot is as big as possible. As a result the bearings will probably live longer than the rider.

Pro 5 - Stiffness

The bearings are fixed with strong bolts at all pivots, all levers are one-piece designs and the tube-set is extremely strong, meaning PROPAIN bikes are extremely stiff and will go where you want them to go.

 

 

 

Pro 6 – Sensitivity

The wheel travel path and the suspension kinematics are optimized to guarantee an ultimate sensitive suspension to ensure your wheels stay very they belong – on the ground.

 

 

 

Pro 7 – Low centre of gravity

PROPAIN bikes have one of the lowest centre of gravity among all bikes on the market. A low centre of gravity will give more stability to your ride and the bike feels more agile and balanced.

 

Pro 8 – The perfect balance

The centre of gravity is not only low it is also in the middle of the bike, meaning it is perfectly balanced between the front and rear wheel, giving you a superior feeling in corners and in the air.

 

Pro 9 - Braking forces

The Pro 10 suspension system isolates most braking forces from the suspension so that your suspension will stay fully active and unaffected by braking forces. We are sure you will appreciate it when your wheels stay on the ground while braking before hitting a corner or the next tree…

 

PRO 10 - It is all about style

It just looks damn good…
