Cutting-edge motorsports technology for more performance on the road. With independently adjustable compression and rebound damping the Variant 3 damper setup can be tuned to your own driving preferences or vehicle modifications such as weight, tire characteristics or additional chassis bracing. True performance optimization is only possible with this unique, patented system. For example, the compression damping force can be increased to optimize grip from the tires, or improve cornering behavior and reduce squat without influencing the rebound damping characteristics that are optimally tuned to the spring rate.
The KW shocks feature a two-stage, multi-valve damper technology that allows the damping forces to be tuned. The adjustable low-speed rebound stage influences the rebound during load changes in the compressed state. It’s to adjust the handling characteristics to be stiffer or more comfortable. The low-speed compression stage further influences the steering and pitching behavior of the heavy electric SUV when braking and accelerating. To a certain extent, the compression valve affects the ride comfort.
