2010 Falcon LTD Besides the feature of no power-loss Four Bar Link Supsension System, in 2010, Wheeler has upgraded the design to full Carbon material in Falcon LTD. By the aid of Computer-Aided Engineering, the HM fiber (High Modulus Carbon Fiber) & HT Fiber ( High Tenacity Carbon Fiber) have been applied in exact lay-up and ratios to suit the mechanical needs of different frame locations. This had resulted in achieving our high Stiffness to Weight ratio targets for this premium frame. The model also features low aerodynamic drag, and use a new cable routing solution for even smoother shifting and increased reliability. |

2009 Wheeler re-designess the Ramp all-mountain bike. A revolutionary suspension design that uses a virtual pivot point design with a lower link at the bottom bracket. It's stiff, eliminates suspension bob on climbs and still offers plush travel on downhills. For this year, the model gets a dynamically curved HydraForming frame. |

2008 Falcon LTD. Edition, the first Full Suspension Carbon Fibre bike is born. Thanks to the use of Carbon fibre, the bike is extremely light-weight, while maintaining its siffness. The classic four-bar system is still unrivaled in terms of efficiency. |

1998 Years of testing and racing in the World Cup circuit brings the downhill specific Wheeler 9000ZX, the most advanced full suspension design at that time. It's main skeletal structure is fabricated from radically oversized 7000 series aluminum & ovalized at the bottom bracket and head tube junction to reduce flex. Gussets & cold-forged suspension components are utilized to meet the rigorous strength requirements of downhill racing. The low pivot design, coupled w/ the BombaStik Attitude Adjuster & Force Inversion System ( MoFoIS) gives the 9000ZX 120mm of plush, active rear wheel trevel that downhillers dream about. |

1997 Moby's Stick A kind of weird name. Maybe so, but this machine's design is the brainchild of our team of engineers, with help from the Wheeler World Team racers. Wheeler has been actively involved in the full suspension revolution for more than 3 years and our engineers know that the pivot is the strategic point where maximum stiffness must be achieved. The new pivot/linkage design, mimicking the suspension design of the latest moto-cross machines, provides mega rear suspension travel that allows controlled and responsive handling over a wide range of terrain conditions. It is designed for one purpose only...Downhill. |

1995 The brand new Downhill RSA with Aluminum Full Suspension is born. Designed for Albert Iten, World Downhill Champion 1992, a special designed aluminum swingbeam gives real high performance at high-speeds. It's Easton Aluminum Varilite provides extra light tubes with superior torsional stiffness. |
