Feature: Maestro’s near vertical wheel path and linear spring curve allow the rear suspension to remain incredibly sensitive to both small and big impacts—without “packing up” under rapid, successive hits or bottoming out under big hits.

Benefit: The better the contact with the ground, the more control you have. And the more sensitive your suspension is, the better your acceleration, braking and cornering traction.

Feature: Maestro utilizes four strategically positioned pivot points (the four red dots shown below) and two linkages that all work to create a single floating pivot point (the red circle).

Benefit: This single floating pivot point improves pedaling efficiency by counteracting pedaling forces that would otherwise create suspension compression (squatting) or pedal kickback (bobbing). Both seriously hinder performance by sapping energy from you and your bike.

Feature: Maestro’s upper rocker arms feature trunnion shock attachment points, which produce a lower leverage ratio for better pedaling and braking efficiency and allow for shorter chainstays to improve the bike’s climbing capabilities and agility.

Benefit: Improved pedaling, braking and frame geometry for all Maestro-equipped off-road bicycles.
