Purpose To increase comfort when riding in urban areas while
preventing bottoming when suddenly riding over a gap while
banking on a bend.
Performance/characteristics At the lowest possible spring setting, the air spring effect is
increased depending on the oil level.
An oil lock mechanism is fitted for the purpose of preventing
bottoming (metal contact).
Problem with circuit Instability caused by excessive front dip movement during the
initial braking period.
Stroke cannot be used up. (Stroke stops sharply in the second
half of braking.)
