The high-performance LSUV recreational vehicle, under the strong power output, can not lose the acceleration strength to the performance RV, but due to its high center of gravity setting, the stability and response speed of high-speed driving cannot be as free as the RV, but this problem, in fact, As long as you replace a set of high-end shock absorbers, it can be greatly improved, and this is the main reason why this X6M owner will upgrade the KW Variant 4.

KW top street car shock absorbers

Realize 3-way soft and hard adjustment

In order to improve the handling performance of the car, when the author interviewed many European cars in the past, many car owners chose to install the German KW Variant 3 shock absorber, which was favored by many VAG and BMW car owners, and the evaluation after use was also quite high. , which can combine the comfort of street riding and the response of intense driving, but if you want to get a sharper chassis response, or even more flexible steering fun when driving intensely on mountain roads, the higher level Variant 4 is a great choice.

The biggest difference between Variant 4 and KW's other three shock absorbers for street cars, such as Variant 1, Variant 2 and Variant 3, is that the KW Variant 4 shock absorber adopts KW's industry-leading racing damping adjustment. It has three-way group adjustment functions such as rebound damping, low-speed compression damping and high-speed compression damping that can be independently adjusted. It is especially suitable for high-performance cars in the daily environment, and KW V4 shock absorbers used in different cars are shipped from the factory. It has been specially tuned for different vehicle characteristics, but due to the extensive and flexible damping soft and hard adjustment function, if necessary, the owner can quickly switch to a more hard or comfortable driving through the three adjustment knobs on the shock absorber Feel, the number of adjustment stages are 16-stage rebound damping adjustable, 14-stage high-speed compression damping, 6-stage low-speed compression damping adjustment, etc.

In fact, the research and development of this three-way damping adjustment technology is based on the experience of many years of champions in the ADAC Zurich Nurburgring 24-hour endurance race, and some models are also equipped with an aluminum alloy fisheye adjustable upper seat, which can provide a larger Camber positioning angle Responds with keen manipulation. Due to the use of KW's most advanced shock absorber technology, the latest KW Variant 4 height-adjustable shock absorber can be selected for some high-performance models, and customized damping responses for special cars can be developed to enable car owners to surpass Dynamic handling capabilities at the limit of the original factory.

In addition, Variant 4 will also provide a barrel made of forged aluminum alloy or stainless steel, depending on the difference in suspension design. The lightweight characteristics of the former are more helpful for the speed and directness of the suspension response, and are more conducive to Heat dissipation of damping oil. And this X6M also has a better chassis limit after the shock absorber is upgraded to Variant 4, and it can also moderately reduce the car height, make the center of gravity transfer faster, and also obtain a more sporty visual effect.
