Just What Sort Of Suspension Is Right For Motorcycle Trailers?

Leon E. Moseel
November 3, 2012


With the wide variety of motorcycle trailers, it can be hard to make the best choice. With the vast array of choices available it can be hard to choose the one that's best for your needs. I can give you some tips to help take some of the tough choices out of your hands. One component that you will definitely need to make it as easy as possible to transport your bike is rubber torsion suspension.

There are many great reasons why including rubber torsion suspension is an excellent choice. A couple of the things it will help you with are providing you with a smoother haul, extra durability, allowing for easier installation, and finally it will make maintenance a breeze.

I've often heard people who have hauled their bike with a rubber torsion suspension talk about how they can't believe how smooth their haul was. Because each of the axle's are completely independent of each other your suspension will let the wheel's work on their own, adjusting to the road as you go. Another thing that adds some smoothness to your trip is that the suspension is created from rubber, this material naturally adds some dampening. Another thing to take into consideration is as you increase the weight on your suspension you will get a smoother driving experience because it will become stiffer and not move as much. And the last reason for your vehicle feeling so smooth while you drive is that you won't have as much shock passed to your chassis as you do with a normal suspension, so when you drive you won't notice the extra cargo as much.

You don't need to be mechanically inclined to put this thing together either because all you need to do is tighten a couple bolts. It couldn't be easier to put together your new trailer. There's not much to be concerned about when it comes to maintenance either because there are no spots where there is metal touching metal. With the exception of adding a little grease to the bearings now and again you won't have to lubricate any other parts of your new suspension.

Due to all the factors I just talked about you can see these types of motorcycle trailers don't have many pieces to maintain. But just like on every kind of equipment you will want to be sure to inspect it every once and a while to make sure there aren't any problems.

It's not hard to see that there are plenty of great reasons to choose a rubber torsion suspension to use on your dump trailers. With it being so easy to install, and also considering great dampening and movement reduction capabilities there's no way you can go wrong when using this type of suspension.
