What is the ``3S suspension'' proposed by SPOON?
○ The beginning area at the moment when the suspension sinks is made soft, resulting in a flat ride even when riding around town.
○The intermediate range is smoother by eliminating sliding resistance, improving direct load transfer and straight-line stability.
○ By creating tough and strong damping characteristics near the bottom, it achieves high durability even in extreme areas such as high G cornering and riding on curbs.
However, in order to take advantage of this ideal suspension, it was first necessary to create the ideal body.
In the process of developing the S660, we first developed rigid parts such as the ``STIFF PLATE series'' and ``Rigicolor'' to make the entire body rigid, and then laid the foundation for full-scale development of the suspension.
This is the balanced total setting that SPOON aims for.
In order to create a damper kit that is safe, fun, and fast at a high level for all stages such as city riding, winding roads, and circuits, we have designed and tested settings based on a huge amount of data to create the ideal coilover kit. completed.
Equipped with camber-adjustable pillow upper mounts on both the front and rear, it is possible to adjust the camber value to suit the driving stage, and it is also possible to deal with tires that protrude beyond the fender line due to the installation of big calipers.
The pillow balls that enable a smooth and direct running feel are made by Minebea (NMB) and are highly durable.
Helper springs are installed both front and rear to ensure sufficient rebound stroke and achieve the ideal "spring feel".
A wide range of settings are possible, including low-down settings for circuits and street use.
