Why the double-wishbone front matters

A double-wishbone front suspension is designed to manage bumps and braking forces in a way that helps keep the chassis settled. For touring riders, that translates to a confident feel when the road surface changes and when you’re slowing down with luggage or a passenger onboard.

  • Composed steering feel through sweepers and freeway transitions
  • Controlled front-end behavior under braking
  • Comfort-focused compliance for long days in the saddle

Rear stability: Pro Arm® single-side swingarm

The Gold Wing’s Pro Arm® single-side swingarm and Pro-Link® rear shock arrangement is built for stability and predictable tracking. Combined with the wide rear tire, it supports the bike’s touring mission—especially when you’re carrying gear and riding at steady highway speeds.
