Harley-Davidson has fundamentally revised its Softail model series for the 2017 model year.
The concept of the rebound-loaded shock absorber has been completely rethought and the frame and swingarm have been redesigned. There is now space for a conventional, compression-loaded shock absorber. This was the starting signal for us to develop a Nivomat suspension for the model series in close co-operation with ZF.
The goal was clear: more ride comfort without having to sacrifice stability and an optimum levelling position that the system regulates continuously while driving.
Here, too, we have achieved our goal!
The Wilbers Nivomat suspension strut offers excellent comfort in all situations.
It adapts to the different load conditions without any intervention, completely automatically – without buttons and without electronics!
After the pillion rider has taken a seat, with or without luggage, the low-slung chassis pumps itself back up to the defined ride height after a few metres of riding, as the shock absorber pumps additional oil into its cylinder through its own lifting movement.
The resulting increase in pressure also leads to an adjustment of the damping.
