Suspension & Chassis Breakdown
How the NT1100 DCT stays composed
The NT1100 DCT is built to feel stable on the freeway, confident in sweepers, and predictable when the pavement gets rough. Below is a practical look at the suspension, chassis geometry, tires, and braking components that shape the ride.
Suspension: what’s on the bike
Front: 43mm inverted Showa SFF-BP fork
- 43mm inverted fork design for a planted, precise front-end feel.
- 5.9-inch travel to help absorb broken pavement and expansion joints.
- SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) layout is designed to deliver consistent damping and feedback.
Rear: Pro-Link Showa single shock
- Pro-Link linkage helps the rear suspension feel supple early in the stroke while staying supportive as loads increase.
- 5.9-inch travel to match the front and keep chassis attitude balanced.
- A strong foundation for touring needs like passenger weight and luggage (when equipped).
Chassis geometry (feel on the road)
These numbers point toward stable, confidence-inspiring manners at speed while still allowing the bike to turn in predictably for everyday commuting and weekend rides.
Wheels & tires (contact patch basics)
A wider rear tire helps put power down smoothly, while the 17-inch sizing supports responsive steering and a broad selection of sport-touring tire options.
Braking & ABS (control you can trust)
- Front: Dual 310mm discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers; ABS
- Rear: Single 256mm disc; ABS
For touring and daily riding around San Diego, ABS adds confidence when traction changes unexpectedly—think painted lines, sand near the coast, or sudden stops in traffic.
