Softride

The design was developed by James Allsop and David Calopp, and became the most successful of the beam suspension systems.

[4][5] Notable Softride users include Greg Welch[6] and Jürgen Zäck.

The original SRS systems consisted of two foam filled fiberglass boxes bonded together with a viscoelastic layer.

During 1996 Softride released its first aluminum frame road bike, the Classic TT.

Softride ceased bicycle production in 2007 after the design was banned from UCI races.
