Is air suspension suitable for All terrain vehicles?
Ranger Mike said:Whoa up fellows...there is no such thing as AIR shocks...
Ranger Mike said:One final note: unless you come up with some totally new "air suspension" we are stuck with a variant of the tried and true spring/shock design.
4WheelOffRoad.com said:Air shocks are a compromise between a shock and a spring. They are very similar to nitrogen-charged emulsion shocks. However, you will quickly notice that air shocks have a much larger chrome shaft that runs out of the body.
...
These new air shocks look very much like the coilover shocks used by desert racers and rockcrawlers, but without the coil springs around the outside of the shock body. What really makes folks scratch their head is that no other type of spring is used with air shocks-no coils, leaves, or airbags. The air shock itself works as both spring and shock in a cheap, lightweight, and simple package...

ATV air suspension is a type of suspension system that uses compressed air to support the weight of the vehicle and absorb shock from the terrain.
ATV air suspension works by using an air compressor to fill air into air springs, which are located between the vehicle's frame and its wheels. The air pressure in the springs can be adjusted to change the height and stiffness of the suspension, providing a smoother ride.
Yes, ATV air suspension is suitable for a variety of terrains, including off-road trails, rocky terrain, and even pavement. However, the type and design of the suspension may vary depending on the terrain and intended use of the ATV.
Some of the benefits of ATV air suspension include improved ride comfort, better handling and stability, and the ability to adjust the suspension for different riding conditions. It also reduces stress on the vehicle's frame and components, leading to longer durability.
ATV air suspension offers several advantages over other types of suspension, such as a smoother ride, better adjustability, and increased durability. However, it may also be more expensive to install and maintain compared to other types of suspension systems. Ultimately, the best type of suspension for an ATV will depend on the rider's preferences and riding style.
