- Reduced NVH: The Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control across most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Tuned valving: Full displaced valving is tuned to the vehicle, and a larger bore provides more efficient damping for a smooth, consistent ride.
- PTFE-banded piston: Provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and added durability.
- Nitrogen gas charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
