Review: 2 Stages Bikes

Featuring the unique twin-shock design on all three of their bikes, 2stage bikes cater for Downhill, Freeride and the monster market of All Mountain which is sweeping the mountain bike scene at the moment. Unlike other twin-shock bikes, the 2stage system is designed around efficiency. The first shock is your small bump shock, and the secondary shock is for big hits. But that’s not all.



The configuration of the suspension design is essentially a single pivot with another one on top. The lower pivot is tamed by an idler wheel, which means when pedalling the lower shock is locked out, effectively making the bike a short travel rig. You really notice this when pedalling hard, a common thing in UK downhilling. The secondary shock kicks in on bigger hits, but there is no noticeable transition between the two - a sign of great design. The other big thing is how well balanced the bike feels. The rearward axle path follows the fork’s natural action, making the bike want to lunge forward on square edge hits.
