FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM DETAILS


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Front Shock Absorber Assembly


      1. A low-pressure gas (N2) sealed front shock absorber assembly with a linear control valve is used to realize both driving stability and riding comfort.

      2. A multi-leaf type linear control valve is used to attain linear damping force characteristics.

      3. A rebound spring is used to ensure vehicle stability during cornering.

      4. The multi-leaf type linear control valve has a structure of several layered leaf valves with different diameter. With the adoption of the multi-leaf type linear control valve, the changes in the damping force are made constant at low piston speeds, thus realizing the excellent riding comfort and controllability.

      5. The built-in rebound spring is designed to function with the suspension spring in order to restrain suspension extension during rebound. Also, in order to realize a soft and comfortable ride, only the suspension springs are used when the suspension stroke is small during normal driving. However, when cornering, load is removed from the inner wheels, the functions of both the rebound spring and the suspension spring interact and the extension of the suspension is restrained. As a result, the vehicle has excellent maneuverability and stability.
