Hi,

We've been developing a new suspension called Link-X for SUVs. It makes a big beast have any level of body roll (even zero) without use of sway bars or high damping. We've recently been approached by ATV manufacturers about doing a Link-X ATV...fully independent suspension but with near zero body roll and very soft shocks to reduce racer fatigue.

What we want in an ATV is 1) Existing independent suspension front and rear 2) Tubular control arms (easiest to modify) 3) 2WD so we can race our concoction 4) Highest possible power-to-weight ratio 5) Outboard brakes front AND rear - if this exists.

Cost isn't an issue as we will probably put $20k into the development process - we want the best possible foundation for our machine.

BTW, the idea isn't just to create a racing machine. We want to show improvements in the ride/handling for utility purposes, too. We hope to create a machine that can both work and handle great.

Cheers,
Todd
