Abstract
An remote electronic shock adjuster is disclosed. The shock assembly with the electronic shock adjuster includes an electronic valve, the electronic valve configured to adjust a compression stiffness of the shock assembly. A switch is communicatively coupled with the electronic valve and configured to provide a signal to the electronic valve to lockout the shock assembly or return the shock assembly to a pre-lockout configuration.
Claims20
A shock assembly comprising:
- a valve coupled with a power resistor, wherein said power resistor causes said valve to adjust a compression stiffness of said shock assembly;
- and
- a switch communicatively coupled with said valve, said switch configured to provide a signal, via a relay, to said valve to lockout said shock assembly or return said shock assembly to a non-lockout configuration.
A suspension system comprising:
- at least one front shock assembly;
- at least one rear shock assembly comprising an electronic valve, wherein said electronic valve is configured to adjust a stiffness of said at least one rear shock assembly;
- and
- a user interface communicatively coupled with said electronic valve, said user interface configured to provide a signal to said electronic valve to increase a firmness of said at least one rear shock assembly or return said at least one rear shock assembly to a pre-increased firmness configuration.

A snowmobile comprising:
- an engine;
- a frame;
- a front steering assembly comprising at least one front shock assembly coupled between said frame and at least one ski, wherein said at least one front shock assembly does not require any electronic inputs;
- a rear suspension assembly coupled with a track driven by said engine, said rear suspension assembly comprising:
- a front track connection with a front track shock assembly;
- and
- a rear track connection with a rear track shock assembly, said rear track shock assembly comprising:
- an electronic valve, wherein said electronic valve is configured to adjust a stiffness of said at least one rear shock assembly;
- and
- a user interface communicatively coupled with said rear track shock assembly, said user interface configured to provide a signal to said electronic valve to lockout said rear track shock assembly or return said rear track shock assembly to a pre-lockout configuration.
