New Select Series Shocks

jason — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:48:37 +0000

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!

Shockwave Internal Ride Height Sensor

jason — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 23:09:08 +0000

The new internal ride height sensor is a state of the art infared leveling sensor designed for ShockWave applications. This unit offers a bolt on solution for a complete leveling system on many applications. No more external sensors.

This plug in device works with AirPod and LevelPro compressor packages. The sensor works by bouncing a infrared beam off the shock inside the ShockWave unit. This signal tells the distance between the two, and knows ride height every time!

Do you already own ShockWaves? No worries, give us a call we can adapt to most ShockWave applications.

The new Internal ride Height sensor was well received during the 2008 SEMA show. The sensor came home with best new product of the year!
