I think it’s pretty inventive.

It’s an interesting proof of concept but no damping and lack of adjustability won’t make for a very nice ride.

There is potentially a place for magnets in suspension…. but this ain’t it!

Imagine you jump and the bike folds in half lol

Anyone who thinks this is a good idea for MTB doesn’t understand how MTB suspension works at all

Don’t jump anything, it will fold. Also what is the stiffness actually going around a corner? If he created a system that introduced torsional stiffness and didn’t hinge away when lifted he could have something on his hands here.

Ha I watched this last night. Did he ever mention weight?

Great as a science project.

If you get the wheels off the ground you die.

Omg, I love Colin Furze. But I can’t imagine using 3d printed parts to hold magnets this strong in opposition *anywhere*. This is just asking for a very bad day to occur

People are taking this post way too seriously. Colin Furze’s whole thing is building ridiculous, impractical, but fun toys. I think it’s a cool little experiment.

No.
P.S. But device has a chance as the first time in history magnetic balls crusher.
No thanks
All good as long as you wear your safety tie.
This is not a new idea. Cadillac has been using this for suspension in their cars for years. Pretty awesome.
Gotta call it “wireless suspension”
That’s gotta be incredibly heavy.
Already posted and discussed thoroughly yesterday in this sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/MTB/comments/1pes42v/ive_had_this_idea_for_years_and_this_madman/
