- optimised suspension geometry ensures no bump / torque steer
- extra-long suspension travel with raise / lower feature
- rated for on- and off-higway usage
- also suited for twin steer applications with load equalisation
- compact package allows high wheel cuts and thus tighter turning circles
- twin or single air spring arrangements to suit clearances to engine
- suitable for both standard and narrow wheel track arrangements
- fits same frame envelope as mechanical leaf spring system
- lightweight system with minimal parts – seamless integration with forged L-beam axles
- ride comfort comparable to full air system – 1,2Hz ride frequency achievable
