A mono tube type shock absorber is used to optimize dampening characteristics.
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.
A rebound spring is used in the shock absorbers. While turning, rebound of the inside wheels is restricted by the rebound spring, reducing vehicle roll to ensure controllability and stability.
A Teflon-coated piston band is used to reduce friction against the cylinder wall, ensuring handling and realizing excellent ride comfort.
