Dual suspension refers to a bicycle design that features both front and rear suspension systems. This setup allows for better shock absorption and improved comfort while riding over rough terrain. The front suspension typically consists of a fork with springs or air chambers, while the rear suspension is integrated into the frame, often using a linkage system. This type of suspension is commonly found in mountain bikes and trail bikes, making them ideal for off-road riding. Dual suspension helps maintain traction on uneven surfaces, enhancing control and stability. Riders benefit from a smoother experience, reducing fatigue during long rides.
