MULTI-LINK REAR SUSPENSION CONSTRUCTION

Optimized Link and Shock Absorber Layout

Optimized camber angle

• Change of camber angle to ground during wheel stroke is minimized due to the optimization of the lower and upper arm lengths. Due to this high gripping power is assured under any driving condition and handling stability is improved.

Optimized roll axis position

• Lateral force acting on the shock absorbers is reduced due to the separated positioning of the rear coil spring and shock absorber, enabling smooth operation of the suspension system and thereby improving riding comfort.

• Additionally, the height of the front roll center is set lower than the rear. Due to this, a difference develops between the front and rear roll momentum while driving.
