The mechanism in question refers to a specific type of suspension system implemented on a particular touring motorcycle model. It utilizes compressed air to provide adjustable support and cushioning, enhancing ride comfort and handling characteristics. This feature allows the operator to modulate the suspension’s stiffness based on load, road conditions, or personal preference, offering a customizable riding experience. As an example, the rider can increase the air pressure for heavier loads or decrease it for a softer ride on smooth surfaces.
The inclusion of this technology significantly improves rider and passenger comfort, especially during long-distance travel. It allows for a smoother ride over uneven terrain, reduces fatigue, and enhances stability, contributing to increased safety and control. Historically, adjustable suspension systems have been a hallmark of high-end touring motorcycles, representing a commitment to rider experience and technological innovation.
