Vehicle suspension linkage

A suspension linkage for two wheeled vehicles comprising:

• a plurality of link bodies including:
• a suspended body, a second body, a third body, a fourth body, a fifth body, and a sixth body operatively coupled with one another defining a plurality of instantaneous velocity centers (IVCs) comprising at least eight known IVCs;
• a driven wheel rotatably coupled to at least one of the second body, the third body, the fourth body, the fifth body, or the sixth body, the driven wheel defining a driven wheel axis path (DWAP);
• and
• a shock assembly configured to resist movement between two or more of the link bodies, wherein:
• a migration path of at least one of the known IVCs reverses as the DWAP migrates in a single direction.

A suspension linkage for two wheeled vehicles comprising:

• a plurality of link bodies including:
• a suspended body, a second body, a third body, a fourth body, a fifth body, and a sixth body operatively coupled with one another defining a plurality of instantaneous velocity centers (IVCs), the plurality of IVCs comprising:
• an IVC[13][15] (20) at a jointed connection between the suspended body and the third body;
• an IVC[13][17] (21) at a jointed connection between the suspended body and the fifth body;
• an IVC[15][16] (24) at a jointed connection between the third body and the fourth body;
• an IVC[15][18] (25) at a jointed connection between the third body and the sixth body;
• an IVC[14][17] (23) at a jointed connection between the second body and the fifth body;
• an IVC[17][18] (26) at a jointed connection between the fifth body and the sixth body;
• and
• a hidden IVC[13][18] (42);
• and
• a migration path IVC[13][18] (63);
• and
• a shock assembly configured to resist movement between two or more of the suspended body, the second body, the third body, the fourth body, the fifth body, or the sixth body, wherein:
• at least a portion of the migration path IVC[13][18] (63) is located rearward of the IVC[13][17] (21).
