Suspension

Back in 2016, we told you about a unique leaf-spring suspension fork for mountain bikes, known as the Motion. Its manufacturer has now applied the same basic technology to the simpler one-legged La City fork, which is made for commuter bikes.

On most full-suspension mountain bikes, the rear shock sits between the swingarm and the main triangle, with connectors at either end. The Datum bike is different and supposedly better, though, in that its rear shock slides into the frame's top tube.

Even though mountain bikers can manually adjust their bike's suspension, most of them don't constantly do so throughout each ride. That's where the new RockShox Flight Attendant system comes in, as it automatically adjusts the suspension as needed.

There's no motorcycle on the planet like this one. British company WMC has put land speed record holders on notice with a 2WD, hydraulically hub-steered electric motorcycle designed around a great big hole it says can reduce drag by nearly 70 percent.

There are already several suspension handlebar stems that incorporate a linkage, which allows the bars to move vertically relative to the steerer tube. The Hammerhead360 is different, though, in that the bars move relative to the stem itself.

We've already seen a number of suspension handlebar stems that help absorb shocks by moving up and down. The Flexx handlebar is different, though, in that the two sides of the bar itself are what do the moving.

While there are systems that advise mountain bikers on their suspension settings, such setups are typically added to the bicycle, temporarily. Mondraker's new MIND system, however, is built right into the bike, permanently providing feedback.

While folding electric scooters are now a common sight, most of them still have fully rigid frames that bang over obstacles on the road. The Splach e-scooter is different, though, in that it incorporates front and rear coil-sprung suspension.

Yes, that's a Kawasaki KX450F with a Hossack-style front end supporting a set of regular telescopic forks. Australian motorcycle suspension tuner Laurie "Suspension" Smith has created this bizarre-looking "TwoEvo" setup, in search of a superior ride.

Although most mountain bikes now feature suspension forks, road bikes are typically still rigid. That said, a few devices have been created to help them soak up unwanted road vibrations. Here are a few we've seen, that each took a different approach.

Setting the preload, rebound and compression on a full-suspension mountain bike can be a daunting task. The MotionIQ system is designed to help, though, by assessing users' rides in order to determine the best settings.

When you're cycling over rough roads, there are two main parts of the bike where you feel it – the seat and the bars. Cirrus Cycles previously released a suspension seatpost to address the former, and now it's announced a stem to tackle the latter.
