Arnott’s TruAIR® Technology System for HD Softails

Duration:   4  mins

Description

Mike gives us a look at Arnott’s “true air suspension” system for HD Softails—made up of a damper/shock that is independent from the air spring.

Their patented TruAIR® technology outperforms OE shocks and features a custom-valved monotube shock. Other companies use modified automobile shocks for their air suspension products, Arnott motorcycle air suspension is engineered exclusively for motorcycles and the shocks are specifically tuned to each motorcycle model.

The damping is specifically tuned to absorb road bumps and roughness and increases ride comfort for riders. Our kits are designed with safety in mind and use hydraulic shocks to dampen the impact of road imperfections while keeping the rear tire firmly on the ground. Riders can tighten up their suspension for a spirited ride through the mountains and then soften it up for a comfortable ride back home. When stopped they can lower the bike and firmly plant their feet on the ground for parking or backing up.

All of Arnott’s motorcycle kits are handcrafted in the USA and are made with Fox dampers, Goodyear air springs and other tier one components. Our motorcycle air suspension is controllable with a handle-bar push button control switch that allows the rider to quickly raise and lower their bikes. They can easily adjust for terrain, comfort, passengers, and safety. The system is plug and play – no modifications to the bikes are necessary.

As a company, Arnott Inc has its roots in the luxury car industry. We engineer and often improve OE air suspension for cars, trucks, and SUVs. We have taken 30+ years of air suspension knowledge and paired it with engineers who are motorcycle experts and have created the best custom tuned motorcycle air suspension in the industry.

Mike reviews the Softail kit for 2001-2017 models and the kit for 2017-Present.

Hey, it's Mike Roen - Fix My Hog. Once again we've paired up with Arnott Motorcycle Suspensions. Take a look at the product here. They got the twin cam covered, and they got it for the M8 Softail. I mean think back, you know, here's production shocks out of a twin cam, and what's Harley care about? Cost, obviously. I mean, they're mass producing this motorcycle. They're trying to make the thing cover all the bases, but it's not really doing it, you know. They don't know if you ride two up. They don't know if you ride solo. They don't know , what you're, how tall you are. I mean, a lot of my customers come in, and they're vertically challenged. Maybe they're female and they're vertically challenged. Maybe they weigh more than me, you know. Maybe they're significant other ways more than me. So that's really where, you know it comes down to spending money one time on your Harley. You got a ton of dough into this motorcycle. So I tell people, when it comes to suspension, you wanna do it one time. Spend a little more money...quality. I mean now they're paired up with Fox shocks as well. So, you're not only...you're gonna spend the money one time. Nice thing is it's plug and play, no modifications to your motorcycle. So, what you're trying to do is alleviate headaches when it comes time to put this in; and this kind of stuff is, yep you're gonna spend big bucks on it, but guess what? You take a weekend off. You can probably put it in yourself and you don't gotta pay some kid to do it, and worry about, you know, how it went in. So, that that's the kind of stuff I'm looking at is when I buy a tool, I buy it for life. I buy a one time. I don't wanna buy the cheap tool and then go, "Why didn't I buy the good tool?" 'Cause now it's, you know, bit me, so... The other thing I like is, well, look at the M8. Look at that new Softail. It came out. It's got the model shock. When you look at that motorcycle, you go. When I look at it, I go, you know, they missed the mark. I mean, let's look at the old Softail. When that thing came out, that thing was a home run. It had the look. You know the ride height looked pretty good. But, when I look at the ride height on that new M8, it looks like it's too high, and there's nothing you can do about it. So, now you got this true air ride suspension. It's forever adjustable. It's got a little button on your handlebar. You can go hey, I'm cruising around town. I'm solo tonight. You drop it down. You cruise around. Oh, I'm going on a road trip. I'm throwing all my luggage on. I'm putting the old lady on the back. I'm gonna set the ride height to where I want it. It's just forever adjustable. So, that's really the whole benefit of this whole package, and it's quality. So anyway, let's look at what Arnott has for Harley soft tail motorcycles; black Fox shock absorber, Goodyear air spring, High output air compressor, fused wire harness, and relay assembly, and nylon air tubing. Hey, and the best part is it's all made and tested in the USA. So let's look at the other air shock. Product features for the ultimate ride kit for Harley M8; black Fox shock absorber, Goodyear air spring, high output air compressor, with bracket. We got a air distribution valve assembly, fused wire harness and relay assembly, and nylon airline tubing. Best part is, they're made and tested in USA. So get online, check out Arnott. They're the real true air motorcycle suspension.
