NEW Q-Series Monotube Shocks

New Product: Smooth Body Shocks

Q-Series – OEM Monotube Shock Replacements

Nothing influences how your car rides and handles more than shock absorbers. If you could pick only one thing to change on your car to get the most overall improvement…upgrade the brains of your suspension…the shocks!

Ridetech’s new smooth body shocks are an important step in suspension technology. With its compact design, smooth body shocks are specifically developed to fit into a variety of stock shock locations. This opens up Ridetech’s shock line to any builder wanting to upgrade their ride quality without reworking their entire suspension design.

Using the same monotube design as the ShockWave and Ridetech Coilover, new smooth body shocks are developed with a significantly larger piston. When compared to a twin tube design, the Ridetech monotube shock provides approximately 150% additional effective oil control surface area, giving it the advantage when dampening suspension travel. In addition, the monotube design supplies a more efficient oil flow path that leads to cooler operating temperatures and consistent performance in extreme environments.

To develop the shock, Ridetech hooked up with Fox Racing Shocks, a brand who has had its hands in the bicycle, motorcycling, offroad, and military markets for over 35 years. Fox and RideTech both have had plenty of experience testing, developing and refining the entire ride quality and handling aspect of suspension design. So this shock not only fits…it works!

Product Description:

Shocks are the BRAINS of your suspension! Nothing influences how your car rides and handles more than shock absorbers. If you could pick only one thing to change on your car to get the most overall improvement…upgrade the brains of your suspension…the shocks! It took us 16 years to find shock technology that we felt was worthy of our customers. After engaging the expertise of FOX Racing Shocks, we felt we were able to bring the already crowded shock market a product that was both unique and improved.

Twin-Tube vs Mono-Tube

The mono-tube design is the choice of nearly all high end and OEM and extreme performance shock manufacturers. Its main advantage is that a larger piston and a more efficient oil flow path leads to cooler operating temps and more consistent performance in extreme environments.

The RQ (ride quality) Series shocks have been designed and tuned for optium ride qulity in street rods, Muscle Cars, classic trucks and cruisers. It’s the perfect solution for the hotrodder who wants to install it and forget it!

The HQ (handling quality) Series shocks adds rebound adjustment for the driver who wants to tune ride quality AND handling quality to their specific taste. A wide rebound adjustment range allows you to cruise down the road in plush comfort or firm up your suspension for those Saturday morning canyon roads! Coming this January
