As someone who rides motorcycles, suspension is always one of the most intriguing aspects. As the suspension set up in combination with the tires dictate the character of the bike in ways few other components do. Awesome content as usual ✌🏻

It would be interesting to test models of some mountain bike suspensions (since most of them are progressive). Some of the bikes have absolutely insane suspension geometry. Interesting how it performs in Lego.

[@martinfisker7438]

Lots of bikes have "pro-links" in the rear end. They are a bit better hidden than they are on mountain bikes though. The forks just have progressive springs - and progressive damping in the valving

Old school chopper springer + plunger combo does what it does in real life. Rode a frankensteined old triumph once that was set up like that. Almost bounced me of the road through the slightest curve, it was awful unless you were 300+ lbs

Love how the bike just sort of jumps sometimes, it's quite beautiful to see how chaotic high speeds can be on a given frame

[@ericedwards4260]

Great video, but I wasn’t very satisfied with the simulated physics. The rig’s bike shouldn’t be “pulled forward” at the handlebars. Because as the front tire hits a bump, it is forced up, but also backward. This backward force in the rig is then counteracted by a forward pull on the handlebar location… that forward pull should actually come from the intertia of the bike, from its center of mass. This rig simulates a bike that has its center of mass at its handlebars… A bikes center of mass is lower, and more centered between the wheels (where weight was a added). I think the bike should have been stabilized/ pulled forward where the weight was added. The rig caused a torque, pulling the bike nose down, adding weird, unnatural stresses to the front wheel. Anyway, it ain’t that serious but thought I’d share my thoughts. Great vid as always and I liked the slow mo

[@ericedwards4260]

The stabilizing arms at the handlebars caused a torque**

[@yuvallegomotorized]

@@ericedwards4260 you right with many aspects. i wrote him the similar things.

This is such a great example of undamped suspension and why struts/ damping are important!

This is pretty cool I liked when the cat rubbed up on it and when you did the whole thing in reverse.

[@lena19191]

The first bike had massive frame flex. I was amazed on how well the old school swing arm front forks performed too (earles forks )

[@rhyswoodman6781]

I love how you take it to next level every time in your videos like reversing the conveyor or making the road bike go off road. It's exactly what I would do. 👍

So glad I stumbled across one of your vids. I had no idea Lego had so many different available parts. Always enjoy watching your videos (especially when high).

[@efeball970]

the 8420 set brought back so many memories. i remember modifying the front fork to support the wheel from both sides as it was SO flimsy.

[@matthieuneuilly]

I passed my childhood buying stuff and learning things at school without invent or recreate knowledge into toys. Now i feel old and stupid, but i’m happy it’s not too late to imagine other things to enjoy reflexion and find another way of fun. Even if I’m wrong about me, thank you to let the other enjoy it. 👋✨🤙

[@fantomita_rider477]

i think the reason why it keeps jumping up so much is not the linkage designe but the fact that lego struts lack rebound adjustment and unfortunetly thats a limitation of lego. All that said i truly enjoy your work, keep it up!

First of all wow. So interesting, like all your clips man 🥰. Min 6:00- I got clip 4 days ago on this thing specific : You did it oposite too 🤯... How ? That front suspension that you did 2(teleliver) is awesome 😎. You should do your front pivot point oposite, in all the models, then it drive much better.

[@timobensch3904]

I do want to add that the most common suspension set-up is not the one you have shown but rather the telescoping front suspension of the first one you built, and the single center shock suspension of the second bike you've built in this video.

i have a feeling the next suspension test video will be tank suspension testing most lego tanks i saw either used hvss, christie or torsion bar suspension, but i would be interesed in seeing how a lego leaf srping suspension would work (example of tanks using leaf spring suspension include the italian m13's or the hungarian turán tanks)

[@yuvallegomotorized]

Leaf spring is just bad. Kellschiz got nice clips on that. You should watch my ripsaw suspension - it can jump like no one other. Plus, in this clip he should turn his suspention direction, he did it oposite. That the true, even the fact that this dude is much better builder then i do.

[@user-pr7xu5in3y]

Wow, it's really nice. I enjoyed watching it.

[@GbpsGbps-vn3jy]

You need a hinged mount for the whole bike connected to its center of mass, not connected to the fork. Because in practice you created a parallel suspension or to be precise a horst link for the front Now, about the powering these contraptions. I'll really appreciate it if you try to use a normal computer PSU and using whatever voltage you need - 5V, 12V or variable regulator for enough amps to use those 7.2V

[@yuvallegomotorized]

True

[@eRKSToCK]

These suspension videos are fantastic

[@boriska007]

Great work and video! I think that pushing bike would be better and more realistic then pulling.

[@nelspotts5311]

Very cool! I would like to see some dampeners on those bikes.

[@stepforddriverviewau]

you should try some more complex rear suspension setups, like those on mountain bikes, itd be really cool

[@zaqw1111]

I mean, you need both springs and shock absorbers to build suspension, all you have there are springs. Tuning is also a huge part of suspension, arguably more than the geometry.

[@TiHoN_Tih]

thanks you bro .I 'm knowing a lot of information !

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Hurly-Durly simulation was spot on.

[@INSIDEHARDWARE]

Great idea. Good job. For the sake of the proper scientific method you would want to keep consistency in as many factors as possible to isolate just shocks and suspension. Consider: Bike length (same for all) Total weight (same for all (and front/back distribution) Mounting of the bike to the carousel should be similar for all models. Again. SUUUUUUPER COOL! Good job. Got a new sub today!

[@mubinzombadkar9112]

09:13 That bike must have said.: "Nope, I'm out now"😂😂

[@snehangshumukherjee4188]

Try a set up with all of the suspensions built in one, maybe it could produce a better outcome

[@lyubomircholakov3788]

Another epic video thank you! If you have time I'd love to see a set up where the motorbike (or mountain bike as someone else suggested) is held around the center of mass, between the two wheels. That would change drastically the characteristics of the fork performance and the bike bounce as it's being "pushed" rather then "pulled", resembling a real application a little bit 😃

[@lapaleves]

it's really nice to see the slowmos, but yeah... the actual forces act much different due to the rear wheel pushing. also i think the lane keeper should be removed and maybe fix it on the top? these springs have some little friction, but actually quite useless for damping, except the large transparent body one, which is too much. maybe it's worth trying the short yellow spring with a small pneu rod being the "fluid" dampener. i used that in larger models to make it more real plastic.
