After years of research Champion Trikes is introducing new suspension technology called Comfort Ride Trike CRT suspension. This new independent suspension features high pressure gas shock absorbers, forged upper and lower control arms and high pressure cast components that add strength while reducing weight. The latest motorcycle to receive the new CRT trike conversion is the Honda Gold Wing GL1800 and Trike Riders Now gets an exclusive first ride.
