What is anti dive and anti squat?
Anti-dive and anti-squat percentages are always calculated with respect to a vertical plane that intersects the vehicles centre of gravity. Anti-dive and anti-squat are percentages that indicate the level at which the front of a car dives under braking and the rear of a car squatting under braking.
What is anti squat on a car?
Anti-squat suspensions are used to reduce body squat by altering the rear suspension so that the forces resulting from accelerating pass through the control arms and suspension linkage rather than through the coilovers or struts. This is typically done with vehicles with high power to weight ratios.
Is anti squat good or bad?
A system that doesn’t combat any of the squat from the load transfer is going to result in unwanted suspension compression and you bobbing your way up a climb. Anti-squat is a good thing then, to combat the natural want of the bike to squat and compress the suspension.
What does anti-dive do?
Anti-dive is a suspension parameter that affects the amount of suspension deflection when the brakes are applied. When this happens there is no suspension deflection due to braking and no visible brake dive. There is still load transfer onto the wheels, but the chassis does not pitch nose down.
What is anti squat on a 4 link?
Anti-Squat is an engineering term which describes the 4-Links likely performance under acceleration. 4-Link settings with less than 100\% Anti-Squat are likely to squat under hard acceleration (rear of car drops), and “hit the tires more softly”.
What does anti dive do?
Why do cars squat?
It works when an acceleration force is acting through the centre of gravity causing the front wheels to raise as the rear tries to squat due to the acceleration force acting on the centre of gravity causing the car to pivot.
What does anti squat do?
What is Anti-Squat? Anti-Squat is best described as Caster for the rear wheels…it changes the relation of the inner hinge pins parallel to the ground. The more anti-squat the vehicle has, the less the suspension will squat during acceleration. Adding Anti-Squat will make the car Squat less during acceleration.
What is rear anti squat?
Anti-Squat is best described as Caster for the rear wheels…it changes the relation of the inner hinge pins parallel to the ground. The more anti-squat the vehicle has, the less the suspension will squat during acceleration. Adding Anti-Squat will make the car Squat less during acceleration.
What is anti dive suspension?
What is anti squat MTB?
Anti-squat is the reaction of the rear suspension to the chain force. This means that the design of the suspension plays a role, but also the position and direction of the chain. The upper chain-line is key in the design of suspension.
