What is Pro Dive suspension?

If Anti Dive resists the nose dropping under braking then Pro Dive (when the front of the A-Arm pivot is lower than the rear of the A-Arm pivot) helps the nose to drop under braking. In effect, the car gets some automatic steering under braking promoting a good set at corner entry.

What is anti squat on a 4 link?

Anti-Squat is an engineering term which describes the 4-Links likely performance under acceleration. 4-Link settings with less than 100\% Anti-Squat are likely to squat under hard acceleration (rear of car drops), and “hit the tires more softly”.

What is anti squat?

Anti Squat is a term for suspension engineers to determine how much the suspension mechanism itself is resisting suspension compression. Anti-squat is suspension’s mechanical resistance to compression due to forces from the engine (when on a bicycle human is the engine).

Is anti squat good or bad?

A system that doesn’t combat any of the squat from the load transfer is going to result in unwanted suspension compression and you bobbing your way up a climb. Anti-squat is a good thing then, to combat the natural want of the bike to squat and compress the suspension.

What is the advantage of a 4 link suspension?

The benefits of a four-link over a simple leaf-spring suspension include controlling axlewrap, better departure angles, controlling axle path, and reducing the uncontrolled variables of axle movement down to just spring rate and shock valving.

Is anti-squat good or bad?

What is DW Link suspension?

The DW-link uses an anti-squat suspension design to counteract forces responsible for “suspension bob” and consequently removes the need for excessive compression damping. This allows the suspension to be much more active over low-speed impacts, allowing more traction.

What happens if your anti dive is too low?

Suspension systems with anti-dive values under 100\% will cause the front suspension to compress under breaking, often called nose-dive. Under acceleration, a low anti-dive geometry will cause the front end to lift and the suspension to extend which also shifts weight to the rear of the vehicle.

What is anti dive in suspension?

When it comes to racecar suspensions, everything is about timing. Anti Dive is creates mechanical resistance under braking. The percentage of Anti Dive can be drawn out on paper easily in the shop – at the track just toss in the different slugs to accomplish your goals.

How do you use Pro-dive on the LF?

For racing, running Pro-Dive on the LF with Anti-Dive on the RF can help pull the car into the turn. In effect, the car gets some automatic steering under braking promoting a good set at corner entry.

Is a 100\% anti-dive front end right for You?

For many applications, a 100\% anti-dive front end may be a desirable starting point or default setting, especially if the 4-link mounts are fabricated to allow for adjustability above and below 100\%. 100\% Anti-dive is a great universal default starting point for many applications.
