WARNING RESTRICTED ACCESS

• Overview
• Riders control their choice of mapping via a
  five-position joystick
• The LCD screen informs riders of their mapping
  preference
• Programmable, electronic damping has over 10,000
  terrain-response maps for the best possible
  damper control.
• On-the-fly interface and intuitive rider-control
  system is instantly switchable to new mapping or
  to lockout mode.

• High Speed Computing
• Digital Network

• Digital network provides high-speed
  communications and chip-to-chip messaging
• The microcomputer compares terrain input and fork
  feedback 500 times every second (500 Hz).
• Unlike traditional hydraulic dampers with fixed
  settings and manual adjustments, the computer is
  actively changing fluid flow rates every 2
  milliseconds.

• Fluid-control system
• Using advanced algorithms, fluid flow rates are
  calculated to achieve optimal ride quality.
• This calculation drives a linear-force motor and
  magnetic flux conduit.
• The motor and conduit proportionally control the
  fluid aperture with 1/1000th of a millimeter
  accuracy.
• 0.006 seconds to full open
