Sybil link = adjustability and lateral rigidity.
This means the new Sybil link cannot be
retro-fitted to Sugars, neither 2002 or ear-
lier.
New swingarm without ‘seatstay bridge’ =
tire clearance. By using very large diameter
‘seatstays’, we were able to remove the brake
bridge. Normally the bridge is needed to
stiffen the area around the brake bosses.
With the super-large diameter tubes we
designed, we were able to remove the
bridge completely while maintaining ade-
quate brake rigidity. The result is tons of
tire clearance, now fitting even up to a
2.35 tire (carbon fiber version from Sugar
shown).
Genesisters model. The Sugar 3+ is
now offered in Genesisters geometry, Gary’s
Genesis concept executed to fit women.
Other details. The Sugar+ frame accepts
V-type or International mount disc brakes.
Sugar+ suspension setup
With a Fox rear shock, in the short travel
mode, pump up the pressure to around 25-35
PSI less than your body weight in LBS (see
chart below). With models that provide damp-
ing adjustment, try 2-3 turns in from fully
fast. This is a good place to start. You should
experiment in small increments to find what
works best for your position, terrain, body
weight, and riding speed.
One of the cool features of the Sugar+
concept is that once you’ve adjusted the rear
shock for its ‘standard’ travel mode, you don’t
have to change the preload. When you move
to the long travel position on the Sybil link,
the change in actuation ratio means the long
travel adjustment will be appropriately softer.
For the long travel mode, set up the shock
in the short travel mode as explained above.
Then, simply move the shock to its long trav-
el position on the Sybil link. For most riding,
no further adjustments are necessary.
