Sometimes, the most revolutionary ideas can be amazingly simple. The SilkTi (patent pending) is one example of an incredibly sophisticated suspension system that is at the same time quite uncomplicated. It's the latest in a string of technological mindbenders from the exceedingly productive cranium of our superstar suspension designer John Castellano.

The SilkTi boasts 1.75 inches of plush, progressive, and reliable rear wheel travel. And while it's nearly double that of the current breed of softtails, longer travel isn't the only superior feature of the SilkTi. We can also pound our chests about having the lowest chainstay stress, the highest whole-frame lateral and torsional rigidity and the most progressive suspension spring curve, all of which are incorporated into the evolved design of the SilkTi.
