Legend Suspension Revo-A Coil Shocks For Harley Sportster The REVO-A coil shock system is Legend’s take on isolating a bike from road shocks using a conventional coil spring and shock absorber, with an upgrade over the standard REVO shock.

Revo suspension achieves a softer, more compliant ride due to softer spring rates. The REVO-A line, like the standard REVO, uses coil springs that are specially wound a few inches longer than a standard spring.

When compressed into the shock body, the special spring delivers a sweet spot that is noticeably larger and more usable than competitors that yields a great ride over a wide variety of road conditions.

The REVO-A’s shock bodies are all aluminum, as well! Heavy-duty versions are available and recommended for riders who ride at or near maximum load capacity more than half the time. REVO-A shocks distinguish themselves from the standard REVO by allowing the rider to adjust the rebound damping characteristics of the shocks.

After more than a decade of ruling the roads with our road proven 440 Seriesshocks, Weve unveiled another breakthrough design. Dubbed Frequency Sensing – Technology (FST) for its unique ability to dynamically adjust damping as youride.

The result is superior performance no matter the road conditions.
