Explanation Instant center of rotation (IC) in MTB

Let's see together the instantaneous center of rotation (IC): an important aspect that determines changes with respect to the behavior of our MTB.

We link, as usual in these topics, the video of the Youtube Channel MTB Suspension Design ENG given that these topics have already been treated (by this channel) with great professionalism.

EXPLANATION IC

It is the center around which the axis of the wheel moves: it is usually circular (mono-pivot frames) But not always (virtual pivot frames). It is a multi-faceted theme and not easy to understand for minds who have no engineering background (or who simply aren't passionate about such topics). Space for video.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
