Ein Feature des Rahmens bzw. des Systems ist der asymmetrisch positionierte Dämpfer...
Hier eine Erklärung von Dave Weagle:
A mountain bike has it's entire driveline on the right side of the bike. This offsets the chassis' center of mass towards the drive side. By offsetting the shock significantly to the non-drive side, I've been able to balance out that center of mass somewhat, making for a bike that is more controllable through chop and more precisely controllable at the limits of traction. This offsetting of the shock also lets us spread the swingarm bearings out as wide as possible and makes for a stiffer chassis with less weight. Another important benefit is the clearance that we are able to buy for chain retention systems and driveline parts.
