Rear Suspension Systems

Rear Suspension systems support the rear wheel with the help of a swingarm and coil springs.

There are two types of rear suspensions in the Two-Wheeler library.

Twin Shock

As the name suggests, it refers to two shock absorbers at the rear end of a motorcycle. This arrangement allows for a higher spring deflection, as the spring pick-up at the bottom is closer to the wheel center.

Mono Shock

In this setup, a single shock absorber is connected from the swingarm to the motorcycle’s frame. Monoshocks eliminate torque from the swingarm more efficiently, offer better handling and stability, and are easier to adjust than twin shock absorbers as only one unit is used.
