Our thanks to Merritt Island , Florida based Arnott Suspension for a reminder about its TruAIR suspension technology and how it differs from many of the other aftermarket motorcycle air suspension options on offer . Simply put , Arnott says that " the technology used in our designs has been developed to create a true adjustable air suspension , not simple air cylinders , ' air-assisted ' shocks or automotive castoffs . " Hence the name . Arnott TruAIR onboard adjustable air suspension technology provides superior comfort , adjustability and great looks . Arnott kits offer fast , on-the-fly adjustable air spring firmness using a powerful onboard compressor ." Arnott motorcycle air suspension kits are fully adjustable and based on height and weight , " so riders can rest flat-footed while stopped and enjoy a more comfortable ride on long-distance runs , especially when riding two-up or with luggage ." Arnott emphasizes that its kits are designed and tuned specifically for motorcycles . Even if the air spring sleeve is fully deflated , the fender won ’ t touch the tire , unlike automotive-designed shocks installed on motorcycles . " Since Arnott ’ s TruAIR suspension is true onboard adjustable air suspension , it helps to significantly reduce issues seen in air cylinders or ‘ airassisted ’ shocks such as bouncy rides and the danger during evasive maneuvering or hard riding ." Conventional spring and shock tuning can be " tedious and time-consuming - taking days or even weeks ." With Arnott ’ s onboard adjustability , tuning air suspension to the rider ' s individual taste and needs is often reduced to just a few minutes . Setting the suspension to specific drive conditions is therefore also quicker and faster , improving the overall ride . " By adjusting air pressure and shock valving , the ride can be smooth and comfortable , firm and rigid , or somewhere in the middle . What makes Arnott air suspension unique is that you can alter the motorcycle ’ s ride performance based on desired settings , all with existing components ." Features of Arnott ' s CNC-machined components and patented design include a multi-ply Goodyear sleeve , urethane bump stop , motorcycle-specific bushings , a protective aluminum can , mototube damper and optional rebound damping adjustment .
