Long travel suspension

Long travel suspension is a type of vehicle suspension often used in off road racing. Vehicles such as dune buggies, baja racers, mountain bikes, adventure motorcycles, dirt bikes and rock crawlers use long travel suspension to dampen the effects of, rough, off-road driving conditions.^[1] There is no definitive standard on what is considered long travel. Categories such as short travel, standard/stock travel, mid-travel and long travel have vague boundaries. Definitions vary depending on application and time period in history.^{[clarification needed]}
