This suspension is simple, yet complicated

Albatross Apogee Module

Two thirds of this frame are relatively simple, namely the front and rear frame triangles are nothing out of the ordinary. But where an engine often sits these days, the Albatros Apogee Module frame is a little more complicated, and more interesting: A floating damper is surrounded by individually adjustable linkages. This should not only ensure good suspension properties, but also precise adjustment to the desired riding characteristics.

How do you further develop a single-pivot rear triangle? As shown by Albatross bikes: The so-called module is located in the middle of the Apogee frame. This makes room for the shock, as well as linkages and pivot points, the shock is virtually floating.

The concept is modular, as numerous parts are interchangeable. The frame can be adapted to different suspension travel, wheel sizes or different geometries. So if you're keen to experiment, have an affinity for bolting and have suspension know-how, the Apogee Module frame should be the perfect companion. And be patient until 2024, when the US frame manufacturer will be available.
