Features of Monocross Suspension Technology

Many bikes are now a days advertised with the fact that it has a monocross suspension. A major merit of this Monocross suspension is that, compared to the conventional dual shock absorber type, it can be positioned close to the machine's center of gravity to improve the concentration of mass. Also, it enables greater freedom of positioning of the shock absorber unit and makes it possible to get greater wheel travel than the actual stroke of the shock absorber unit. with a p14mm rod and a q 62mm spring and an optimized design for the valve that created the damping force, the rear suspension of the FZ16 achieves the necessary maximum load capacity.

The Spring is a two- stage type with a different coil pitch in the upper and lower halves. The tighter coiled section contributes to a smoother ride, while the section with fewer coils supports load at the larger stroke to prevent bottoming. By the way, of all the motorcycle makers, Yamaha has the longest history of monocross suspension development. it way back in 1973 that Yamaha mounted  a 250cc motocross competition machine, YZM2SO, with a monocross suspension and won the world championship. After that, the monocross suspension became a standard feature on sport bikes by all makers....
