A dual trailing link, rear wheel suspension system for a vehicle is described. The trailing links have proximal ends coupled to the vehicle chassis and distal ends coupled to a bracket with a knuckle for the wheel. The distal ends have a larger distance between them than the proximal ends, allowing for an improved instantaneous center, which may be useful for determining lift/squat characteristics. The distal ends may be disposed proximate the knuckle, thereby providing the largest possible knuckle pivot radius, i.e., effective swingarm length, for a predetermined chassis-wheel distance, which provides a smoother, more comfortable riding experience. The disclosed arrangement makes maximum use of the space allotted for the rear suspension system and is suitable for use with an aerodynamic cowling for an energy efficient vehicle.
