"I have enjoyed and
learned from all the
versions of Linkage."
Steve from JH, mtbr forum
Linkage Personal is our suspension analysis software offered for the bike-enthusiasts seeking to compare different designs and gain knowledge about bike suspensions - or create own projects!
The software may also help you making decisions before buying your new bike or components.
It also helps customizing your bike - change your fork, shock, wheel size with just a few clicks and examine how it will affect the geometry!
And if you really get into the mood, you may even design your special frame linkage parts' geometry which will tailor your bike to your style and needs.
Highlighted features:
This software is very goodfor working on a geometry.

- simulation for virtually all bike suspension systems on the market from single-pivot swingarm to four-bar linkages with additional shock driving linkage ("6-bar linkage")
- instant center, path curvature center calculation
- several diagram graphs with the ability to compare them on one sheet
- export results in graphical (JPG,BMP,DXF) formats as well as movies (AVI,Flash,GIF etc.)
- calculates important parameters of a bike like head-angle, wheelbase, pedal-kickback changes etc
- easy-to-use suspension sag calculator
- user-friendly graphical or numerical interface to change the project
- integrated web library to share or publish designs
- possibility to protect your design against copying or modification in the web library
- ability to hide bike specific drawings, thus focusing only on simulating an arbitrary linkage structure
"Wow, that's amazing stuff."
