Abstract

The invention relates to a bicycle rear suspension comprising a four-bar linkage which is articulated to the bicycle frame and which consists of a pivoting arm (5) and a small 40 mm-long crank (7). According to the invention, one end of the aforementioned crank is pivot connected (A) to the pivoting arm (5), while the other end thereof is connected (B) to a large 108 mm-long crank (8) which is in turn pivot connected (C) to the frame. The invention also comprises a shock absorber (9) having a first end which is connected to the connection (B') between the small crank (7) and the large crank (8) and a second end which is connected (B) to the frame. The invention is suitable for bicycles.
