AUTOMATIC SHOCK ABSORBER SYSTEM FOR A BICYCLE

摘要

An apparatus for automatically controlling a shock absorber system for a bicycle comprises a position sensor system configured to detect information indicative of a position of a rider of the bicycle and a controller in communication with the position sensor system. The controller adjusts the shock absorber system based on the detected information. The adjusting of the shock absorber system can include adjusting a damping force of the shock absorber system and/or adjusting sag of the shock absorber system.
