A.O.R. Orbit-EyeTM in action!

Owner Kevin Grove got tired of chewing spring bushings into poly-dust after just a few miles of trail like this.  The problem is that the spring pack is U-bolted to the axle.   And the traditional frame mount is rigid, too.  So, as the axle angles over obstacles, the spring has no choice but to twist laterally.  That not only chews up bushings, but it also limits axle articulation and stiffens the spring rate.  A twisted spring cannot respond as well to terrain changes.
