1. A two-wheel vehicle suspension linkage system comprising:
a suspended body, a link body, and a dynamic body, the dynamic body being coupled to the link body and defining an instantaneous velocity center (IVC);
a shock coupled to the suspended body; and
a shock extension coupled to the shock by a first pivot and coupled to the link body by a second pivot, wherein the IVC is positioned between the first pivot and the second pivot when the shock is in an extended state, wherein: the suspended body and the link body define a stationary instantaneous velocity center (SIVC); and the IVC is positioned above the SIVC when the shock is in the extended state and in front of the SIVC when the shock is in the compressed state.
