  • Patent number: 9855988
    Abstract: A suspension limiting device secured to a fork guard and telescopic suspension where upon compression of suspension, is latched onto a secondary, multi-piece ring that is fixed to the fork tube of a motorcycle front suspension fork, which when latched, lowers the weight bias of the vehicle and controls front-end lift during race starts, whereupon the latch automatically releases from the multi-piece ring immediately upon pressure to the suspension via applying the front brake on the vehicle or contacting a bump during forward motion which then automatically allows the suspension to use full travel. The suspension limiting device allows a user to limit front fork travel by pressing the suspension down and easily pressing the latch before, during or after the latch passes the multi-piece ring to secure connection upon retraction of the suspension.
