MONO SUSPENSION IN BIKES

A motorcycle's suspension is similar to the suspension in an automobile in its purpose: Suspension systems serve a dual purpose - contributing to the vehicle's handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle passengers comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps and vibrations.

But a motorcycle suspension is usually simpler, since it does not have to contend with lateral forces such as body roll. The typical motorcycle has a pair of fork tubes for the front suspension, and a single swingarm with one or two shock absorbers for the rear suspension.


mono suspension bikes means….there will be one suspension to support it.When monosuspension is mentioned everyone should remember that it should be on the rear side. Actually i think there is only monosuspension technology is on the rear side only.On Indian roads it is correct.But i don’t know whether there is that type of technology on the front side

mono suspension design ensures centralisation of mass. By positioning the suspension close to the centre of 

gravity of the machine, turning characteristics, stability during braking and the overall riding performance is 
substantially enhanced.
