Description
iRIDE Intelligent Air-Assisted Suspension System for 2014+ Harley-Davidson® Touring®
ThunderMax introduces the revolutionary iRIDE Intelligent Air-Assisted Suspension System, built specifically for 2014 and newer Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles.
Unlike traditional air systems, iRIDE automatically adjusts your suspension in real time. As a result, you never need to remove your saddle bags or manually change preload again. Whether you ride solo, two-up, or fully loaded, the system adapts instantly.
Most importantly, iRIDE delivers the best ride imaginable.
Why Choose the iRIDE System?
First, iRIDE automatically levels your motorcycle based on rider, passenger, and luggage weight. Therefore, your bike always maintains proper suspension geometry.
Additionally, you can set your stopped seat height. This feature eliminates those awkward tip-toe moments at red lights.
As your speed increases, the system raises the bike for improved handling and suspension performance. Then, as you slow down, it lowers smoothly for confident stops.
Unlike basic air bag systems that can leak, iRIDE uses a high-quality coil-over shock paired with a precision air spring cylinder. Consequently, you get superior dampening, cushion control, and long-term durability.
Furthermore, the system integrates directly with ThunderMax to display live engine data.

Intelligent Speed-Based Ride Height Control
iRIDE reads vehicle speed and adjusts ride height automatically.
You can set three ride modes:
-
Stopped Mode: ½” – 2″ shock travel
-
City Mode: 1″ – 2½” shock travel
-
Highway Mode: 1½” – 3″ shock travel
These measurements refer to shock travel, not total vehicle height.
The system raises the bike from stopped to city mode at 10 mph, which matches the transition from steering to counter-steering. Meanwhile, you can adjust the city-to-highway transition between 25 mph and 60 mph.
When decelerating, the system lowers 1 mph below your programmed transition speed. As a result, ride height changes feel smooth and natural.
What’s Included in the iRIDE Kit?
iRIDE Control Module
The control module mounts directly to the sub-frame and connects to the motorcycle’s CAN BUS system. It continuously reads ride height using a magnetic rotary position sensor. Because it uses magnetic fields instead of contact points, it eliminates wear.
In addition, built-in pressure sensors monitor system and air spring pressure. The integrated circuit board actively controls micro-valves to increase or decrease air pressure as needed.
Command Center
The Command Center serves as your control hub. It mounts on the left-hand controls and connects plug-and-play through CAN BUS.
The high-resolution touch screen works with gloves. From this display, you can adjust ride modes and monitor engine management data.
It is available in black or chrome finishes.
Air Spring
The aluminum air spring mounts on the right side of the bike. It features hard coat anodizing for durability and long life.
Instead of using traditional air bags, iRIDE uses a piston-based air cylinder. Therefore, it reduces the risk of leaks while providing consistent performance.
Coil-Over Shock
JRI manufactures the fully adjustable and rebuildable coil-over shock to ThunderMax specifications.
It mounts on the left side of the bike and allows precise preload and dampening adjustments. Consequently, you gain full control over rebound and ride cushion.
Compressor System
The integrated compressor communicates through CAN BUS with the control module.
It features a CNC-machined head with cooling fins to manage heat efficiently. Additionally, the built-in water dryer system removes moisture from the air supply, which protects internal components.
