Shimano Develops AI-Powered Suspension that Learns Rider Preferences On-the-Fly
• Shimano is working on AI-powered automated suspension adjustment that uses machine learning to tweak settings based on terrain, rider habits, etc.
• The system consists of a handlebar-mounted screen that can learn rider preferences and make real-time adjustments during rides.
• Riders can provide feedback on the adjustments via thumbs up/down buttons to further train the AI.
• Shimano claims the system will improve safety, comfort and efficiency by customizing to individual riders.
• While high-tech features are growing in the bike world, some question if self-adjusting suspension is really a necessity.
