ABSTRACT:
A bicycle front suspension for supporting a front wheel of a bicycle. The front suspension has three moveable link members on each side of the front wheel. A main link is held to an extension of the head tube. A wheel support arm is pivoted in the middle and attached to a bearing in the middle of the main link. A rear control link is attached to a bearing at the top of the wheel support arm and is also linked to a bearing at the base of the head tube. A shock absorber is attached between the wheel support arm upper end and the rear end of the main link. The result of the linkage is to cause the front wheel to move vertically as it hits a bump rather than rearwardly as is normally the case with most bicycle suspensions.
