Suspension systems at C/M in the automotive devision involve two main types then tiers of difference within 

Trucks utilize Vs everything else while we see a flat straight axel Vs dual wishbone on trucks 

TROPHY

Trophy trucks utilize extreme suspension systems, often providing 24–30+ inches of wheel travel in the front and up to 36+ inches in the rear to absorb massive desert terrain impacts at high speeds. These vehicles typically use independent A-arms up front and 3 or 4-link setups in the rear, paired with large coil-over and bypass shocks. 

Typical Trophy Truck Suspension Travel Specs

• Front Travel: Approximately 24–26 inches, with some setups reaching up to 30 inches.

• Rear Travel: Typically 26–36+ inches, often featuring long trailing arms.

• Purpose: The immense travel allows the truck to maintain high speeds (over 100 mph) in rugged, uneven desert terrain by allowing tires to follow the ground while the chassis remains relatively stable. 

Key Components Enabling High Travel

• Bypass Shocks: These shocks have external tubes that allow oil to bypass the main piston in specific zones of travel, offering progressive damping (softer in the middle, firmer near the ends).

• Coil-over Shocks: Work in tandem with bypass shocks to hold the truck's weight.

• Hydraulic Bump Stops: Act as a final, cushioned stop to prevent metal-on-metal bottoming out during huge landings.

• Limit Straps: Nylon straps that prevent the suspension from extending too far, protecting the shocks and components from damage.

• Long Trailing Arms: The rear suspension usually consists of long, robust trailing arms that allow for the massive vertical movement of the rear axle.

FRONT VS REAR TROPHY TRUCK LINKAGE

C/M has a different ground up approach & Retrofit Kit perspective while many on the market are good or better we prioritize a performance approach

THE USE OF MX LINKAGE & TROPHY TRUCKS & BUGGIES

MX rear suspension linkage acts as a leverage-altering system between the swingarm and shock, creating a rising rate (progressive) effect that makes the suspension stiffer as it compresses deeper. It uses a triangular bellcrank and pull rods to control shock speed, improving traction, comfort, and bottoming resistance. 

Key Aspects of How It Works:

• Rising Rate Progression: At the start of the stroke, the wheel moves faster than the shock (plush). As the wheel rises, the linkage geometry forces the shock to compress faster, increasing resistance to prevent bottoming.

• Components: The system consists of a triangular bellcrank (triangle) and a pull rod (dog bone) connecting the frame, swingarm, and shock.

• Leverage Management: The linkage acts as a gearbox that manages the ratio of movement between the swingarm and the rear shock, manipulating the stroke, velocity, and acceleration of the shock, explains in this YouTube video.

• Performance Benefits: By utilizing this system, motorcycles can manage smaller bumps with low-speed rebound, while large jumps trigger high-speed damping, providing a firmer cushion.

• Maintenance: The bearings in the bellcrank and pull rod require regular cleaning and greasing for optimal function. 

By altering the linkage geometry (e.g., using aftermarket links), riders can change the bike's, such as the Pro Circuit Linkage or Ride Engineering Linkage, performance to be more or less linear based on the track and preference.

HORSEPOWER & TORQUE 

Trophy trucks typically produce between 800 and 1,200+ horsepower, with many top-tier, unlimited Class 1 trucks producing over 1,100 horsepower from naturally aspirated V8 engines. These high-performance racing machines are designed for maximum speed over brutal terrain, with 1,000+ HP often being the standard for competitive teams in desert endurance races. 

Key Trophy Truck Horsepower Details:

• Engine Type: Most use heavily modified, large-displacement naturally aspirated V8 engines.

• Power Output: While 1,100–1,200 HP is common in the elite class, some configurations range lower.

• Trophy Truck Spec: Spec engines, such as the GM LS3, produce less power, often around 525 HP, designed for more budget-friendly competition.

• Performance: These trucks can reach top speeds exceeding  mph in open desert conditions.

• AWD vs. RWD: The switch to all-wheel drive (AWD) has pushed power levels higher, with 1,100+ horsepower now being common to effectively navigate rough terrain at high speeds.
