VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) is a patented rear suspension system that makes Santa Cruz mountain bikes dominate on racig tracks. What's so special about it?
What is the benefit of VPP?
In Santa Cruz they have really spent a lot of time exploring, thinking and enginering. The aim was to find out everything about the rear hanging, to reveal all its pitfalls and weaknesses, to understand it to improve it. It's easy to complain about the imperfections of systems, it's easy to do it the same, and claim that your system is the best, but in Santa Cruz they let themselves talk by their actions and with determination and hard work to they made the revolution.
How does it work?
The essence of the VPP system is the two short links rotating in oposite directions that balance the energy of the bumps and from the curves that cause on them. On the upper and lower links, a pin is attached to the bicycle to provide a more effective energy transfer from the pedals and the absence of unwanted wobbles because the rear structure is not disturbed by any pins, as is the case with other systems.
When and where can it be used?
The system is flexible and can be used on any model and adapted to the specific needs of use. The result is a comfortable ride in the wildest terrain, but also a good tap and the ability to ride smoothly when riding on a solid surface. So it can be used and set up for all mountain bike disciplines, such as a short and aggressive ride on trails as the most challenging tracks in the downhill world cup. With Virtual Pivot Point you can afford everything.
A really long ride ... for a whole life
There are many things in the world that are beautiful and nice, but they are gone and gone irretrievably, but that does not apply to the Santa Cruz wheels. Engineers from Santa Cruz would swear to rely on reliability and almost indestructible makings of VPPs. All lifetime warranty applies to all frames and bearings! The VPP system is easy to maintain and can be handled by every rider. If they were doing robotics in Santa Cruz, the Terminator would look under his bed every night before sleep if there was no Santa Cruz robot.
