A Nanaimo geotechnical engineer, Chris Hudec, has developed a revolutionary mountain bike design that offers unmatched pedaling efficiency and suspension performance. His unique frame design eliminates the trade-off between pedaling power and suspension travel, creating a bike that feels like a hardtail while offering the benefits of a full-suspension system. Hudec’s bikes, with their long-travel suspension and innovative link system, defy conventional wisdom about mountain bike suspension. While local riders have embraced Hudec’s creations, major bike manufacturers have yet to adopt his technology. Hudec is now seeking a license for his designs, hoping to see them implemented by leading manufacturers and make his ‘mind-bending’ bike accessible to a wider audience.
