WARNING: RESTRICTED ACCESS AREA 88.

USE OF DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED TO PROTECT SIMON

Overview:•Riders control their choice of mapping via a five-position joystick

•The LCD screen informs riders of their mapping preference

•Programmable, electronic damping has over 10,000 terrain-response maps for the best possible damper control.

•On-the-fly interface and intuitive rider-control system is instantly switchable to new mapping or to lockout mode.

Key benefit 1:

It’s a brave new world for bicycle suspension and opens previously unavailable damping possibilities:

•Travel management at any point in the stroke.

•Selectable damping rates.

•Linking front and rear suspension.

•“Check engine light.”

High Speed Computing& Digital Network:

•Digital network provides high-speed communications and “chip-to-chip” messaging

•The microcomputer compares terrain input and fork feedback 500 times every second (500 Hz).

•Unlike traditional hydraulic dampers with fixed settings and manual adjustments, the computer is actively changing fluid flow rates every 2 milliseconds.

Fluid-control system:

• Using advanced algorithms, fluid flow rates are calculated to achieve optimal ride quality.

• This calculation drives a linear-force motor and magnetic flux conduit.

• The motor and conduit proportionally control the fluid aperture with 1/1000th of a millimeter accuracy.

• 0.006 seconds to full open
