About: Softail

An Entity of Type: Vehicle104524313, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A softail (shortened form of soft tail) motorcycle intentionally looks like vintage motorcycles with a rigid hard-tail frame that has a triangle of steel tubes at the rear axle, like on a bicycle frame, but on a Softail these tubes are actually a triangular swingarm, with the shock absorber(s) hidden, as opposed to clearly visible regular twin shocks on both sides of the rear wheel on standard bikes. Since the introduction of the Harley-Davidson FXST Softail in 1983 as a registered trademark of the Motor Company, softail has become a genericized trademark for other models of cruiser motorcycles with rear suspensions hidden for retro style reasons. This was done even though the rear wheel was often hidden behind bags or exhaust pipes.

dbo:abstract
  • Le terme softail se réfère à des motocyclettes et des bicyclettes qui disposent d'un système de suspension arrière à ressorts ou amortisseurs cachés. Une moto softail a l'apparence d'un cadre rigide avec des amortisseurs à ressorts dissimulés. Le terme « softail » est une marque déposée par Harley-Davidson, depuis la sortie de la FXST Softail de 1984. Dès lors, le mot s'est élargi pour inclure d'autres motos ayant un système de suspension arrière intégré caché tout comme pour certains vélos. (fr)
