Long-travel front suspension systems designed for the Honda TRX400EX sport all-terrain vehicle (ATV) typically employ a set of extended control arms, often referred to as “A-arms” due to their shape. These aftermarket components replace the standard equipment, allowing for significantly greater wheel travel and improved suspension articulation. This enhanced range of motion enables the ATV to absorb impacts more effectively and maintain tire contact with the ground over rough terrain, crucial for high-speed off-road performance and racing.
Increased wheel travel contributes to better handling, stability, and rider comfort in challenging off-road conditions. The ability to maintain traction through whoops, jumps, and uneven terrain is essential for competitive riding and aggressive trail riding. This upgrade represents a significant performance enhancement for riders seeking to push the limits of their Honda TRX400EX. The development of such suspension systems has mirrored the increasing demands of ATV racing and recreational riding, providing riders with greater control and capability.
