THE SCIENCE OF SPEED: DECONSTRUCTING THE SHREMEEQ’S KINEMATICS

Building the ultimate enduro racing machine requires more than just premium carbon and aggressive geometry—it demands a suspension platform that refuses to compromise.

When we designed the Shremeeq, we weren't looking for a middle ground; we wanted a system that could mute the most violent square-edge hits of an EWS stage while retaining the snap and acceleration of a short-travel trail bike. The result is our refined high-pivot Horst-link platform. By isolating pedal forces from terrain inputs, we’ve created a chassis that remains active under braking, explosive on the pedals, and silent in the rough. Below, we dive into the numbers that make this ride feel possible—from our anti-squat tuning to the dual-phase axle path.

ANTI-SQUAT

UNMATCHED EFFICIENCY

Designed with the focus of enduro racing, Shremeeq doesn’t compromise on pedal efficiency. The suspension layout generates very high Anti-squat values—sitting well above 100% around the sag point. This ensures the bike accelerates with the immediacy of a short-travel rig, transferring every watt directly into forward momentum without bobbing.

PEDAL KICKBACK

VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED

Thanks to the integrated idler pulley system, pedal kickback is effectively neutralized, remaining under 6% in downhill gears. This isolates your legs from the terrain, allowing you to push through rough sections without fighting the chain.

ANTI-RISE

STABILITY ON THE BRAKES

To guarantee composure when dropping anchor, the anti-rise is tuned from 80% to 67%. This carefully calibrated range keeps the rear end fully active and sensitive under hard braking, preserving low center of mass and ensuring the tire digs in rather than skipping over chatter.

LEVERAGE RATIO

COIL READY & PREDICTABLE

Shremeeq features a leverage ratio with 18% progressivity, engineered to strike the perfect balance: supple enough to mute small chatter, yet ramping up predictably to handle big hits. This curve creates a bottomless feel that is fully compatible with coil shocks, giving you consistent support deep in the stroke.

AXLE PATH

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

We engineered the axle path to deliver dual-phase performance. In the first half of travel, the axle moves rearward (up to 17mm extension), delivering the legendary square-edge bump erasure typical of high-pivot systems. Deeper in the stroke, the path transitions vertical and slightly forward. This preserves the bike's geometry during heavy G-outs and cornering compressions, ensuring you retain agility and snap when you need it most.
