The VPP system offers great design flexibility and allows Santa Cruz to adjust the shock absorber rates to the intended purpose and character of each model. The shock absorber does not react to the influence of the pedals and the annoying swinging up is effectively prevented: for efficient climbing and acceleration with sensitive response. The chain tension pushes the VPP frame upwards and counteracts the unwanted downward movement caused by pedaling. It is designed to work optimally with the best available shocks: With the aid of a small lever behind the bottom bracket, the position of the swing arm pivot changes over the spring travel range. In addition to excellent quality and finishing of the Santa Cruz bicycles, the extremely versatile and powerful VPP rear triangle system of the mountain bikes contributes to the cult status of the Californian brand. ![]() ![]() More information: GoFundMe page for Sun & Ski employees | BTI homepage | Polar Bottle Texas flag bottle page | Hands.Santa Cruz produces high-performance mountain bikes for real bike enthusiasts: From the Santa Cruz gravel bike to versatile trail bikes and electric mountain bikes to downhill full suspension bikes with 215mm travel - Santa Cruz has everything you need for the trail shredding.
