RideTech Select Shock – SEMA New Product Award
Tuesday morning we received the runner-up “Best New Engineered Product” award for the Select Series Electronically Adjustable Shock.
It is great to be recognized by the industry! We can’t wait to let everyone know about this product. 
New Select Series Shocks
RideTech is pleased to bring the latest in OEM shock technology to the hotrod market
with the new RideTech SELECT series of shock dampers. The RideTech Select series is
a steel body monotube damper with TWO sets of independent internal valving so you
can choose between a soft compliant ride or a firmer “sport mode” for handling
performance…all at the touch of a switch!
The RideTech Select series will be available in a coilover, a ShockWave [airspring],
or a stand alone configuration with no surrounding spring. RideTech [formerly known
as Air Ride Technologies] has long been known for the ShockWave, a combination
airspring and shock absorber. With the new Select Series damper, RideTech is now
the ONLY manufacturer able to bring this new electronically selectable valve
technology to the coilover customer as well. The Select Series is also available
with no coil or airpsring.
The heart of the RideTech Select is two independent sets of electronically controlled
valving inside the monotube damper. In default mode [no power applied], the lower
valving stack is engaged and provides a very compliant ride to optimize a plush ride
quality. When power is applied through a dash mounted control panel, the upper
valve stack is engaged to firm up the ride quality and provide extra cornering and
handling performance, or to optimize ride quality when towing or carrying a heavy
load such as passengers, luggage or a trailer.
This selectable valve technology has been refined and proven on many OEM
vehicles over the past 9 years. RideTech now offers the ultimate solution
to the ride quality and handling issues of the hotrod and trailering market…
the RideTech SELECT!
