If
you're ready for the big leagues of suspension, The
Canfield Brothers (Lance and Chris) based out of Utah,
may have put together the perfect bike for you. The
Fatty Fat is a slimmed down version of their Big
Fat Fatty Fat, with only 10" of rear wheel
travel supported by an Avalanche
DHS 3.0 shock. The suspension path was designed
to mimic the forks wheel path. It travels rearward,
up and away from the obstacles that come in your path.
They claim this new engineering should help you maintain
your speed on those decents, which is all we really
care about. ;)
Also
new is a "naturally progressive bottom-out feature"
called the moto-link which is added to allow the suspesion
to feel smooth over small bumps yet maintain a firm
bottom out. A
higher pivot point gives a smile to anyone that expects
to pedal this beast, and the third pulley in the chain
path cancels out any chain stretch.
This
bike is innovative as well as good looking. If you're
looking at a new bike for the season, and want to ride
it hard, Contact
Lance or Chris to have them start building your
custom Fatty Fat today.
