The 'Triple M' Mountain Bike Places Shocks Inside the Wheels

Mountain bikes often have shocks incorporated into the connection points that the wheels have with the frame, but the 'Triple M' bike looks to take things one step further. Outfitted with shocks in the usual areas, the bike also features wheels that have shocks on the interior section where the spokes would otherwise be located. This provides advanced shock absorption during rides and helps to reduce the amount of strain that's placed on both the rider and the bike itself.
The 'Triple M' mountain bike is the design work of Hojun Lee and offers a distinctly different take on how we could augment bicycle design to be more ergonomic and comfortable by simply looking to areas where improvements could be implemented.
