From what I hear, it's a modern variation of the De Dion suspension design from 1894.

OK, so you obviously had a good source from inside, OR you are inside . Nobody guesses that well...

Anyway, Looks like a big improvement in the suspension. I'll test drive one and we'll see...

Sad that the classic Tri Glide look with passing lamps is gone (which is why I bought a 2025...well that and I like having 'steam gauges' available). New suspension looks promising but I think a few years to work out the kinks may be a good idea (LOTS of new moving parts).

2026 trikes…… RG3 has some nice improvements. Suspension upgrade looks interesting, backup system improved according to them. Like the fenders, license plate location. Not a fan of the blacked out look, and not so sure about the vvt setup. Not sure if they improved the seating, the passenger in the suspension video looked very uncomfortable lol.
