Specifically, it includes a frame [1], a rear shock absorber [2], a rear swingarm [3], a rocker arm [4], and a tie rod [5]. The upper end of the rear shock absorber [2] is connected to the frame [1] via a fourth axle pin [7]. The rear swingarm [3] is connected to the frame [1] via a fifth axle pin [8]. The tie rod... [5] The rocker arm [4] is connected to the frame [1] by the sixth axle pin [9]. The rotation hinge of the rocker arm [4] is the third axle pin [6c]. The third axle pin [6c] is arranged on the rear swingarm [3]. Since the main structure of the rocker arm [4] is arranged on the rear swingarm [3] and above it, the rocker arm ratio of the rocker arm [4] can be made relatively large. At the same time, the relative swing amplitude between the rear shock absorber [2] and the frame [1] is small during the entire working period. Therefore, the rear shock absorber [2] is in good stress condition and is arranged compactly.

[0003] The purpose of this application is to improve a new rear shock absorption method to enhance shock absorption performance.
