swingarms
Rear wheel mounts
Swingarms are the hinged rear suspension components on motorcycles and some bicycles, connecting the rear wheel to the frame while allowing vertical movement over bumps.
The design lets the wheel pivot up and down while maintaining chain alignment: The new swingarm is lighter and stiffer than the stock one.
Single-sided swingarms allow easier wheel changes.
