Motorcycle Air Shocks & Components

Over the last decade or so air springs have become extremely popular in the automotive world: trucks, cars, and even motorcycles can enjoy the benefits of air suspension. The air suspension technology has come a long way in its development - from bulky, slow and inaccurate systems to compact, lightweight and efficient air shocks. Modern-day motorcycle air shocks and components are crafted with leading-edge technology and advanced equipment to provide a soft and comfortable ride along with superior height adjustability and long suspension travel, effectively distributing and supporting the weight of your bike.

While traditional gas/oil shocks and coil springs are intended to provide optimal ride quality and comfort in several fixed positions, their air counterparts offer the rider greater flexibility to adjust their suspension and make it in a quick and easy way to enjoy a smooth and stable ride. Whether manual or computer operated, air suspension systems provide a lot of practical advantages giving the rider a possibility to dramatically change the way their suspension works. With just a push of a button, you’ll be able to adjust the height of your vehicle to the most comfortable one.

An air shock is an air chamber that contains a valve coming off it. Depending on the situation, the air chamber can be inflated or deflated to lower or lift your motorcycle and ensure a comfortable and smooth ride. The pressure and/or height is maintained and changed if needed with an outside compressor through a special valve. As a rule, the compressor is an electrical air pump that is mounted somewhere on the bike’s frame. Many modern air systems also come with a pressure sensor and air dryer for more precise control and longer hassle-free operation.

When you ride alone you want your motorcycle to be lower for better handling and stability, however, if you take a passenger or some extra load, most likely, you’ll need to raise the bike for a safer and more comfortable riding experience. Motorcycle air shocks can excellently cope with the task. They'll help adjust the bike to the ride height of your choice without any tools whatsoever. When a passenger gets off a motorcycle or bags are removed, a simple turn of the knob will be enough to bring back your usual suspension adjustment. So whether your bike is loaded or not, you’ll be able to enjoy a high level of riding comfort.

Motorcycle air shocks and components are not only about a comfortable ride, but also about improved performance. Unlike earlier models, today’s air suspension systems are very compact and lightweight. They are much lighter compared to gas or oil shocks and metal springs since they are not made with heavy components and the air itself is lighter than any oil. Compressors, air dryers, coupling and other components that motorcycle air shocks are accompanied with have also evolved and become lighter and smaller. Thus, air shock absorbers do not compromise the speed and fuel consumption of your bike. If to combine all benefits modern air shocks provide, there is no doubt that an air shock is a smart investment to upgrade your motorcycle.
