What is FSR linkage?

FSR link (example: Specialized Enduro). Rear axle is on the seatstay, with a pivot slightly in front of and below the axle. Similar to the linkage driven single pivot, the FSR link has a modified axle path that leads to slightly better bump compliance and better braking abilities. Specialized Enduro with FSR link.

What is 4bar suspension?

The triangulated 4 bar is a suspension system for a solid rear axle, more commonly seen on older cars. The upper links are angled to hold the axle in place laterally, and because of this, they don’t require a panhard rod or watts link, as shown in the images below.

Which rear suspension is best?

Engineers have tackled this problem with varying degrees of complexity, but the best known are the MacPherson Strut, double wishbone and multi-link systems. As one of the simpler and therefore cheaper options for independent suspension, the MacPherson strut has seen widespread use since its invention back in the 1940s.

Which bike has best suspension?

What’s better 3 Link or 4 Link?

The 3 linl is easier to fit around engine/exhaust/etc… 4 link with dual triangulation done well will locate the axle without panhard rod but is sometimes a bear to fit the upper links and the frame end of lowers.
