REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. A mono tube type shock absorber is used to optimize dampening characteristics.

    2. The mono tube type shock absorber ensures dampening at extremely low piston speeds, achieving a smooth ride with a natural and linear steering response. Additionally, a good dampening response and coupling of the absorber is ensured, restricting unnecessary movement of the springs in consideration of handling and ride comfort.

    3. Friction of the shock absorber (oil seal, piston, free piston, etc.) has been reduced, achieving wheel contact on rough road surfaces and realizing excellent riding comfort.
