SNOWMOBILE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

摘要

To enable a rider to control in real time the type of ride he desires, a snowmobile is equipped with a suspension system that includes at least one fluid actuat ed device which can be adjusted in real time to control the relative distance between the bo dy of the snowmobile onto which the rider sits and the frame, or the slide tracks abou t which the drive belt is mounted. By setting a constant predetermined desirable distanc e between the body and the slide tracks, or the frame, of the snowmobile, an optimal cushioned ride for the rider is obtained. The control of the fluid actuated device(s) may be effected at any time manually by the rider, or be effected by a feedback system. The snowmobile i s also equipped with an ABS system for enhancing the traction of the drive belt on snow and therefore the control of the snowmobile by the rider.
