Are they considered top shelf systems by the cycling world or is this just their interpretation? If so on the former, why are they so much better than the rest? Thanks.

 

Here is a page from he Arnott Catalog regarding how we stack up to some other air suspension technologies.



Here is an interesting page from Arnott's 2047 Catalog regarding Arnott's TruAIR vs some of the others including the stock air assisted shocks.

 

Thunder Press, known as 'The Voices of the Biker Community for 25Years,' recently reviewed Arnott's UltimateRide Air Suspension Kit for the 2009 to 2018 Harley-Davidson® TouringSeries ... and gave the aftermarket air suspension high marks.
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."
