AccuRide. Roadsmith

[saab9k]

Any one have a Roadsmith trike with the AccuRide option.

Is it a better ride than using the standard springs there comes with the kit standard.

Thanks for posting your likes/dislikes.

I have it on my current Roadsmith and didn't have it on my former Roadsmith. This trike came with it installed, I get a nice ride when 2 of us are on the trike. I think that unless I was really traveling with 2 people and a trailer it wouldn't make much of a difference to me. These trikes are so well made they ride like a dream.

I bought a Roadsmith conversion last year. Went with all the options, however when I spoke with the folks at the Trike Shop they said, for my type of riding, the accuride wasn't really necessary. I went with the standard suspension and could not be more pleased. Wife and I love it. Great ride.

Thanks will go with standard.

Would like manual air suspension if it is available.

I have the Accuride suspension and love it. Whether I ride solo, two-up, two-up with cargo trailer, full or empty aux fuel, etc., the trike always automatically maintains correct riding height. I don't have to do anything except get on and ride.

It is available. I have air shocks on my Smith and IMO rides nicer than standard coil over shocks. I bought the air shocks locally (for 69 VW) bout $70.00 bucks. I ride one up mostly at 185 pounds.

You and oldbear don't forget to add in the weight factor. If your 250/300 pounds and the OP is 175 there's going to be a difference in how that ride feels.
