Front Suspension

This is a radical departure compared with ordinary motorcycle suspension and is similar in principle to the double wishbone system fitted to many cars. This patented design allows 38 degrees of steering lock each side and was specifically developed for the Voyager.

Rear Suspension

This is a Moto-Guzzi swing-arm unit related to the rest of the transmission. Front and rear suspension use direct acting Hagon springs and gas-filled damper units.
