What is suspension travel?


Suspension travel is the range of motion your vehicle's suspension can utilize.

To measure your actual suspension travel you must compress your suspension fully, then let your suspension extend fully and measure how much the center of the axle moves from point to point.

Suspension travel is not measured by the arc of the suspension's path, but the distance between full extension and compression.
