The front suspension was a Air, Oil Damped, Leading Axle, Fully Adjustable Compression Damping while the rear was equipped with a Full Floater, Gas/oil Shock.The only problem with the Full Floater suspension was that the components that made the suspension work and operate smoothly would wear out quick making you have to service the bike sooner that later.
