What Makes Us Better
WTF Linkage smoothes bumps and resists brake dive so well it makes traditional bikes feel unacceptable.

Issues Inherent To Other Brands
Benefits of Structure’s WTF Linkage
Telescoping forks and rear linkage systems are inherently mismatched in feel, with differing spring rates
SHOCKS
Front and rear feel work together as a unit with matching leverage ratios and use the same off-the-shelf shock. In fact, the two shocks can be swapped
Telescoping forks dive under braking and steepen to ~73° at full pitch
FORKS
Our 500g solid front fork stays at 66° under pitch (front compression only) and slackens to 58.3° under heave, creating greater stability the harder you ride
Front trail shortens and steering becomes less stable under braking/impacts
TRAIL
Trail, the measurement of front wheel steering stability, starts short and nimble at sag and grows under compression to as much as double that of a telescoping fork
A traditional fork has to be a heavy structural member while handling braking, suspension, and steering inputs
BRAKING
WTF Linkage separates steering, braking, and suspension forces and uses short, stiff arms to create a system that is 25% stiffer than leading enduro forks
Telescoping forks are not maintenance-friendly, requiring seal, bushing and oil service as often as every 50 hours
MAINTENANCE
Linkage is easy to maintain. Our pivots use standard 6903 cartridge bearings that last so long we warranty them for life, and shocks are easier to service than telescoping forks. It’s no contest; WTF is lower maintenance
Typical forks experience bending loads that create bushing bind and stiction, impeding responsiveness / smoothness and often causing crashes.
SUSPENSION
WTF Linkage rotates on sealed bearings, so there is nothing to stick or bind as the suspension travels. This creates the smoothest ride in MTB.
Structure uses standard headsets, threaded BSA bottom brackets, Boost spacing, and easily serviced DVO Topaz T3AIR shocks. Any MTB shop can service a Structure bike.
Standard 6903 sealed cartridge bearings can be found at just about any bike shop, but you probably won’t need them. Our pivots are built to last for years and years, and we warranty them for life.
Top-shelf components from DVO, Magura, OneUp, SRAM, Race Face, DT Swiss, Cane Creek, We Are One, and WTB are tough, offer fantastic performance, and are among the more available products at a time of supply chain crunches across the globe.
Less Accidents
For Pro Circuit Riders
Taken as an average of dive reduction under braking, better grip during cornering, and better chassis balance, Structure riders tend to stay on the bike instead of over the bars **but care is always required in our sport.
Our goal is to keep customers in the Structure family for life. No matter what the circumstance, as part of this program, the price of replacement Structure product is 50% off the listed local price.
