Auckland Cycle Works is all about the suspension performance.
Our unique KOLARP suspension concept performs brilliantly, but doesn’t correlate with the accepted theory. Is this because there’s a flaw in the existing theory? Or because our design allows us greater design freedom?
We’re working out the answers. Our bicycles are taking us on a fascinating journey!

So why is this KOLARP suspension design so special?
How techy/nerdy/philosophical do you want to get?
This is about acceleration anti-squat and braking anti-rise, axle-paths and leverage-ratios.
Others may start with small incremental changes and monitoring the result, we started by changing everything just so we could approach the goal from a different perspective.
This is about seeking out opportunity from the dark spaces in our knowledge.
But mostly it’s about playing with bikes and having fun.
