Sling Power Technology by Slingshot Bikes

Image
In every pedal rotation of a traditional bike design there is a "dead" portion in the power stroke where the rider is getting no benefit from the expended effort. With the Slingshot design, we have provided the most efficient use of pedal energy throughout the entire pedal revolution resulting in greater speed with the same expended energy. This difference is achieved as pedal energy is stored in the spring compression - then released at the "dead" portion of the pedal stroke, effectively increasing the length of the power stroke. Any energy not going directly to the rear wheel (forward power) is momentarily stored, returning 100% in the "dead" portion of the power stroke. This returned energy helps balance the power through the pedal stroke and reduces the effect of the dead spot. The net effect is what we call "Sling Power". Here are the components that allow for the stored energy - release. Dogbone Flexboard   - Located just in front of the

We rode from Goodale Park north through Clintonville and over to the northeast side where we ended at Taco Nazo on 161 and Maple Canyon. We all downed some tacos and FREE horchata! Then we rode south on Maple Canyon through Tamarack and west over the pedestrian bridge to Indianola. South through town. The group did about 22 miles. I did 26.5. Great weather, cool and dry.
