Yes, Braun no longer will build a Non-Air ride C-4500. A few bad apples ruined it for everyone. I sold 4 of them 3 are very happy 1 is so so on the ride. Then again had I known that the county only grades the dirt roads once a year in April, I would have never recommended a non-air ride chassis for them.
IMHO, the ride is like a 7 on a scale 1-10, where as an air ride would be a 9.
The problem came on a national scale when some customers complained loudly about ride, and Bruan just decided it was not worth the fight. I have one customer who wanted to purchase a second one, so I think it came down to what you expected the ride to be, and two what conditions you operated in.
