Arnott Employee AssemblingAn Ultimate Ride Series Shock
Following is an excerpt from the publication's January 2018product review:
"... what differentiates Arnott Air Suspension from the restof the market is that the Arnott system is a true air spring. Most of theoriginal equipment shocks use the older twin-tube design, which doesn'tgenerate damping force as quickly or efficiently.
"My first ride after the install was better than I'd hopedfor. Once I dialed in the optimal air pressure, the ride was quite comfortable,and the handling was superb, even while hitting random bumps in the road. WhenI pulled into a parking lot and came to a stop, I pressed the deflation buttonon the handlebar switch and the bike immediately dropped about three inches,making it quite easy for me to back the bike into a parking spot. After I gotback on the bike, I pressed the inflation button and rode away. Just thatsimple."
