Performance Dynamics
Mod. RD202S is a single point designed unit that transmits the entire axle load from the frame to the center trunnion where the load is equally distributed along the compensator. Elastomer springs housed at the ends of the compensator deflect according to the load applied and transmit the load to the independent torque arms connected to the axles. Elastomer overload springs attached to the independent torque arms act as an assist to the main load-carrying springs and engage as the suspension reaches a given load deflection.

As the vehicle encounters road shocks, the Dynalastic’s independent, rubber-sprung torque arms go into compression. Compression is absorbed in the compensator, equalizing the dynamic force of the road shocks between front and rear springs. Road shocks are maximally dampened before reaching the chassis, resulting in the Dynalastic’s reputation as “Today's Best Riding Single Point.”
