A device for providing adjustable, deployable, controlled flex and lateral suspension
movement to a motorcycle chassis. This is accomplished by a swingarm pivot mechanism,
that when operated, variably allows the swingarm member to move laterally, controlled
by flexure members, and constrained within selected limits. The mechanism is controlled
by a logic unit acting on inputs such as lean angle, road speed, transmission gear
position, engine speed, throttle position, brake application, suspension position,
and a rider override switch. In another embodiment, the mechanism is used without
an actuator, and is manually adjusted for flex and performance per conditions and
rider preference.
