When it comes to steering dampers. The return to center damping circuit is a critical component. All MSC Moto steering dampers include Active RTC technology, which takes this control feature to another level.
Active RTC offers the best of both worlds when it comes to return to center damping options. The Active RTC calculates, based on the riders input, if the bike needs ‘zero’ damping on return to center or if they need ‘full’ damping on return to center.
For riders travelling at high speeds where steering is minimal but stability requirements are high, the damper will provide full dampening on return to center in order to eliminate free play, which gets rid of head shake.
For situations when a fast movements are required, such as a quick counter steer back to center in order to avoid an obstacle, the oil will bleed off and bypass the dampening unit, providing a dynamic system that gives the rider zero damping on return to center.
If the rider needs to make a fast counter steer movement back to center in order to avoid an obstacle when a trail tightens up, or fast movements are required, the oil will bleed off and bypass the dampening unit, providing a dynamic system that gives the rider zero damping on return to center.
Active RTC technology is pressure sensitive and only applies when needed so no adjustment is required.
