OK, that's still a reasonable leverage ratio for the rubber spring. OH wait, I think that is just a jounce bumper, there must be some sort of torsion spring(s) in the pivots; With two links, there is the possibility of spreading the spring force over 4 pivots, more feasible. Also, notable, the relationship between the top and bottom links, provides some anti-dive effect, so it doesn't mash down under braking.
