Not only spring plus syringe motorcycle shock absorption science

Shock absorption arrangement

There are many types of shock absorption, and the installation method is only complicated. Only the first reaction can tell the front vertical shock absorption, the inverted front shock absorption, the front single shock absorption, the center rear shock absorption, the side rear shock absorption, the rear double gun shock absorption, etc. Arrangement form.

Since the inverted front shock absorber was mounted on the performance model, it has always been a controversial topic in the circle of friends.

1 vertical shock absorption

The vertical vibration damping is to connect the outer tube of the shock absorber (thick tube) to the front wheel, and the inner tube (thin tube) to the triangular table. Such a structure is relatively simple, and both the manufacturing cost and the post-maintenance and maintenance cost are relatively close to the people.

And since the daily damping oil is generally stored in the outer tube, the vertical vibration damping is not particularly strict with the quality requirements of the oil seal (compared to the inverted shock absorption), and there is no need to worry about the influence of gravity on the oil leakage.

2 inverted shock absorption

Inverted shock absorption has been increasingly being carried on performance models in recent years. "Inverted" is the relative position of the vertical tube and the thin tube, in order to achieve smaller weight, lighter unsprung mass, stronger stiffness and more sensitive feedback.

However, for daily use, the vertical vibration damping is sufficient to bear all kinds of working conditions, and the simple construction and cost to the people are more cost-effective. It is not necessary to say that the model that pursues performance will naturally be equipped with inverted front shock absorption. However, if you want to reduce the weight of the car and improve the handling, and change the original vertical shock absorber to the inverted position, then it is better to reduce the fat and practice the driving technique.

3 front single shock absorption

The name of the front single shock is a bit sloppy, but it may be easier to understand if it is a single rocker. This type of loading is common on Vespa models, providing more direct road feedback and a higher level of force.

However, this form has a drawback. When the adjustment of the shock absorption is not optimal, the front wheel is easily driven by the uneven force on both sides.

4 rear double gun shock absorption

The rear double gun shock absorption is white. The front vertical shock absorber is copied to the rear wheel. The "gun" of the double gun is another name for the shock absorber. Rear double guns provide higher load capacity, but the flexibility of the rear wheels is more affected.

Commonly found on scooters and pedestal tools, the CG125 is a classic example.

5 center rear shock absorption

The center-mounted rear shock absorber connects the frame to the rear rocker arm through a multi-link mechanism and a shock absorbing damper, which provides better corner support and feedback, allowing the driver to feel the dynamics of the rear wheel sharply. . At present, the common off-road vehicles, street cars, sports cars, etc., have chosen this method in a wide range.

Multi-link structure

6 center side shock absorption

The central side damping reduces the multi-link configuration and directly fixes the damping piston on the rear rocker arm, which enhances the overall sporting style and takes into account the carrying capacity of the rear wheel. Shock and center-mounted shock absorption is a relatively modest form. Representative models include Kawasaki ER6F and Benelli bn600.


Speaking of this, there will definitely be people asking, telling so much, what is the most commonly promoted preloading and adjustable damping of the manufacturer?
Damping adjustment

The first thing to do is to see if your shock absorber supports adjustment. The preload is adjustable, and it is understood as the expected load regulation. It is to tighten the spring or to increase or decrease the oil/gas, so that the shock absorber can match the current load of the vehicle, not to the rear seat. After the manned, the damping damping is too soft and the frame is bottomed.

The adjustable damping can be subdivided into two types: adjustable compression damping and adjustable spring damping.

Compression damping is the force required when the shock absorber is compressed by force. The greater the compression damping, the more “hard” the vehicle's damping is. Conversely, the smaller the compression damping, the more "soft" the shock absorption is. As for the specific hard and soft strength, it needs to be adjusted according to your actual needs. If you want to go into the foothills, you need harder shock absorption for more sporty vehicle handling. And if you want a comfortable driving experience, reduce the compression damping appropriately.

Rebound damping can be said to be the "reaction force" of compression damping, which is related to the rebound velocity of the shock absorber after being compressed. The smaller the rebound resistance, the easier it is for the shock absorber to recover from the compressed state. The faster the rebound speed, the better the support, but the more obvious the pavement will be fed back to the body.

If the tire is the shoe of a motorcycle, then the shock can be said to be the knee joint of the motorcycle. While providing support, it can also buffer energy according to demand to keep the body stable. The major manufacturers have also made a lot of efforts to adjust their own shock absorbers. In general, the original factory settings can meet most of the road conditions. The specific settings need to be modified according to individual driving needs, but don't be curious to take a tool for a moment.
