GP6 suspension.

Fellas can you tell me what is going on with the Moto Gp front suspension? To all intents and purposes it looks like there are two fork legs each side? Does one of them act as a sort of damper as an auxilliary to the other? If not what is the explanation?

The "second tube" you see is only about 8" long. I believe its a reservoir for the gas.

Andy...Thx for that mate.I was beginning to get a complex,thinking that I had asked a very unpopular question.

As well as being a gas reservoir the small cylinders also have the shim stacks in them which allows suspension tuning and stack changes without stripping the forks.
