A suspension assembly for a cycle having improved stability includes a steering fork having a steering axis, a first arm, and a second arm, each of the first arm and the second arm having a fixed pivot and a shock pivot, the space between the first arm and the second arm defining a wheel opening. A shock link has a shock link fixed pivot and a shock link floating pivot. A shock absorber has a shock gas spring comprising a shock spring body a shock gas piston having a first gas piston area, a spring unit having a spring gas spring comprising a spring body and a spring gas piston having a second gas piston area. A gas pressure inside the shock gas spring is equal to a predetermined pressure for a user's body weight to produce optimal ride conditions for the user's body weight. A mechanical trail distance increases as the suspension assembly compresses relative to a fully extended state.
