Labyrinth Agile

Who are Labyrinth? Labyrinth are a French mountain bike company founded in 1991 and based in the Le Vosges mountain range, mid-east France. Labyrinth is a rider owned company that designs and produces its own models and unique shock linkage – the Adapt Link. The link is designed to be super-supple on the little stuff, but that can handle the big hits while still feeling like it has bottomless suspension travel. The Agile The Labyrinth Agile was born out of the trails of Le Vosges and the desire to produce a bike that could climb as well as it descended. The Agile can easily be assembled either with an All Mountain or Enduro/ trail bias while maintaining geometry. The Agile is a linkage driven – single pivot design offering 6" of rear travel via a Marzocchi Roco Lo shock. It also features cable guides for Hammerschmidt, remote hight-adjustable seat posts and an ISCG05 mount. Adapt Link The Agile frameset utilizes Labyrinth's own 'Adapt Link' system. Simply put, the Adapt Link is designed to give a multi progressive shock stroke. For the first 2 "of travel, it has a very low leverage ratio to react and absorb small bumps and have a greater grip. The middle part of the stroke (2.8") is linear – this is for small to medium hits and helps to isolate the pedal action from the shock. Finally, the last 1.2" is very progressive to give a bottomless feel and to help resist large drops.
