Simple single pivots with no linkage suffer from not enough stiffness due to a single point of attachment between the front and rear triangle. They also are limited to simple linear shock rates. Introducing a link into a single pivot (Fauxbar Systems) can allow for specific tuning of the shock rate however often stiffness is even further compromised due to the location of pivots near the rear hub.
Turntable offers potentially the stiffest single pivot platform on the market with a linkage controlled shock which allows us to tune shock rates for our customers individual riding preference.
