Description
RampAir represents the next evolution in air spring technology: a smart dual-chamber system with a floating piston and higher pressure.
The piston separates the two positive chambers, allowing targeted interaction between them from mid-travel onwards. This smooths out the spring curve and significantly enhances your suspension's performance.
Achieving a linear, consistent spring curve with air suspension is difficult, as air behaves exponentially when compressed.
As a result, conventional air forks often lack crucial mid-stroke support, i.e. stability in this range.
To compensate for this shortcoming, many manufacturers opt for overly firm compression damping.
As a result, mountain bikers reduce air pressure to maintain sensitive response to small terrain irregularities.
However, due to a lack of mid-stroke support, many tend to use volume spacers to remedy this, which only further increases the curve's excessive progression at the end of the travel.
The result is unbalanced suspension: either you lose sensitivity at the expense of grip and comfort, or you sacrifice control and cornering stability.
RampAir intelligently solves this problem: the system harnesses the natural progression of air to create a linear, controlled spring curve.
You benefit from high-performing suspension throughout its entire stroke: supple off the top, supportive through the mid-stroke, and controlled at bottom-out. The pressure in the main and RampAir chambers can be adjusted independently, allowing you to perfectly tune your suspension to your riding style and the terrain.
