Shock absorber with adjustable damping force

摘要

An actuator apparatus controls a valve mechanism of a suspension system. The apparatus includes a valve actuating assembly and an adjuster assembly. The valve actuating assembly is operatively connected to the valve mechanism and is operable between at least two rider-selectable positions to adjust the valve mechanism between various suspension settings. The adjuster assembly is operatively connected to the valve actuating assembly for adjusting the damping characteristics corresponding to at least one of the positions of the valve actuating assembly independently of the damping characteristics corresponding to another position of the valve actuating assembly.
