    Default Should my 2020 RTL have a Ride Firmness Switch?

    Should the 2020 RTL have a switch to adjust the firmness of the air suspension? If so, where? Or is it fully automatic and out of the rider's control? TIA.

    Chipveres, just another aside - the auto adjust on your airbag has the primary aim of ensuring your RT is level, as the ‘20+ models have LED Lighting which can blind oncoming drivers if aimed too high. You don’t have “air suspension” per se, but simply a shock and a separate air bag. The air bag does however sit between the shock and the seat, and does contribute to a better riding experience.

    My 17 Spyder RTL has the air bag adjustable switch on it. I can adjust the softness or hardness of the airbag with the switch on the front console. It stays wherever I leave it at.

    Thanks for the confirmation that it is the 2018 + models that no longer have the manual adjustment. Thought it occured at the same time as the new dash layout but was not positive.
