[ MOTORCYCLES: SUSPENSION ]
 

 

Suspension
In order to achieve maximum road holding performance, the TriRod platform was designed with a Formula 1 type front suspension system.  The double, unequal, non-parallel a-arms position the outside tire for maximum traction, exceeding over 1g in corners.  Everything from roll center height to spindle offset was carefully laid out in order to achieve optimal handling and feedback from the road.  Mating fully adjustable shocks to the a-arms through a pullrod and rocker keep unsprung weight to a minimum.  This allows the wheels to react faster to bumps in the road for more precise control.

The rear suspension utilizes a high-performance motorcycle style mono-shock system.  The shock attaches to the swing arm via a rocker and link which provides leverage ratio progression.  This allows the suspension to stay soft and supple with normal road conditions while firming up just before bottom out when a large bump or pothole is encountered.
