In collaboration with Georgia based Hawg Halters, Jeff Schwindt, founder of Terre Haute, Indiana based air suspension specialist AirFX has released details of what is thought to be the first performance air suspension mono shock for the 2018 H-D Softail platform.
This new patented mono shock will feature the proven AirFX “No Air Bag Design” in a specifically engineered, mono shock that will deliver “outstanding cornering control, while reducing troublesome road feedback.”
The AirFX Mono Shock features a dual piston design that increases the piston surface area, while reducing the air pressure and volume required to lift the bike. Each shock has two air chambers for lift and one for rebound in axial alignment.
Robust spherical bearings are used in the upper and lower pivot points to minimize pivot friction. As with all AirFx mono shocks, this new design allows for adjustable rebound control by adding air to the shock through its remotely installed Schrader valve.
The AirFX mono shock is black hard coat anodized, is rebuildable if ever needed, and offers a range of ride heights from stock to low. The efficient low operating pressure system requires a smaller compressor than most and “delivers the greatest reliability with a very fast lift time.”
“Our new design delivers a smoother ride, increased handling performance, and greater durability while maintaining a body size equal to the stock shock,” says Schwindt. “No high pressure, just good old fashioned performance!“
