ABSTRACT:
A variable reduction cross-linkage for a rear suspension bicycle includes a four-bar linkage comprised of a portion of the frame between a first pivot point and a second pivot point, a portion of the rear swing arm, a long link and a short link. The swing arm is pivotable relative to the frame about the first pivot point. The long link is pivotable relative to the frame about the second pivot point. A shock absorber is pivotally attached to the frame and long link. The four-bar linkage operates so that upward pivotal movement of the swing arm results in a forward movement of the long link to thereby compress the shock absorber.
