FULLSUSPENSION / FSX FRAMES
This is a system based on the four-pivot mechanism principle. It is characterised by placing a pivot (L) between the rear wheel swinging triangle main pivot (P) and the rear wheel axle (D). The main difference in the DLP is the placement of the pivot (L) above the rear wheel axle. This design makes it possible to shift the main pivot (the one next to the bottom bracket) between the large and middle chainring. The result is an optimized position of the "virtual pivot", which influences the performance of the entire four-pivot mechanism. A DLP with the optimum position and shape of the top linkage contributes to the overall springing characteristics depending on the purpose of each model series (so-called leverage ratio / rear wheel suspension characteristics).
NINJA – suspension system of frame platform
The new NINJA model represents the model series designed for freeride and bikepark riding. The foundation is a very low = playful frame with a rear triangle travel of 180 mm and a shock absorber that is 222 mm long with a travel of 70 mm. The rear wheel suspension uses AGang proprietary four-pivot technology, the DLP (Drive Link Pivot).
The NINJA series uses a top linkage with forward travel and an almost horizontal shock absorber position. This design achieves high shock absorbing performance even for minor vibrations as well as progressive hardening of the shock absorber towards the end (the last 20%) of the rear wheel travel.
Besides being sensitive even while braking, the DLP suspension of the rear triangle is characterised by minimal pedal kickback (when the cranks kick back during the shock absorber compression) and chain length extension or reduction. Another advantage of DLP is a set up of shock absorber with much lower air pressure or the use of softer springs. However, it almost eliminated the use of external functions of shock absorber to increase their own compression as Propedal and others like it - especially true when pedaling seated.

CULT – suspension system of frame platform
The CULT model series has been redesigned completely to ideally reflect the latest requirements of the modern enduro riding style. Its platform is a new frame, using the AGang proprietary four-pivot technology, the DLP (Drive Link Pivot), with a rear wheel travel of 150 mm and a shock absorber that is 200 mm long with a travel of 57 mm.
The linkage and pivot positions shift the "virtual pivot" of the suspension high above the pedal centre, thus reducing the rear triangle swaying when pedaling. This results in an optimum ratio between sensitivity to bumps and adequate elimination of the impact of pedaling on the rear triangle swaying.
