A bicycle rear wheel suspension system includes a first link and a second link both pivotally attached to the main frame and to a rear stay or swingarm member. A third link is activated by the first or the second link. The third link activates a fourth link. Either the third or the fourth link can be attached to the main frame at one pivot point. One end of the shock absorber is attached to the third or fourth link at another pivot point. The shock absorber has its other end attached to the first or second link that is not receiving said third link. The third and fourth links are responsible for tuning of the suspension rate characteristics, whereas the first and second links are responsible for precisely defining the rear wheel axle trajectory as the suspension system compresses.
