Abstract
A flow restriction part ( ) which provides a resistance to high speed oil is provided in a reservoir (R), and an air chamber (A ) which contracts according to an oil pressure is disposed underneath this flow restriction part ( ). Providing such flow restriction part and air chamber in addition to an air chamber (A ), a repulsive force when the front fork contracts at high speed, such as during sudden braking, increases larger than during normal contraction while mechanical vibration caused by road unevenness during normal running is absorbed.
