A suspension system for supporting a frame of a vehicle on at least one wheel that is coupled via a chain to a chain ring on the frame. The suspension system includes a structural member supporting an axle of the wheel, a first linkage arm connecting the structural member to the frame, a second linkage arm connecting the structural member to the frame, and a shock absorber coupled between the frame and one of the structural member, the first linkage arm and the second linkage arm. Additionally, the center of curvature (CC) of the axle of the wheel is located within a predetermined radius of a tangent contact point between a tension segment of the chain and the chain ring throughout a range motion of the suspension system.
