Welcome to the 2016 Performance Corner™ Vendor Showcase! In this video series, we will take you booth by booth with our manufacturers showing their latest products In this episode, Shane McCormick goes over what’s new for 2016.
Inside Rancho’s new RS5000X shock is a unique, patented valving system and advanced compression functionality that will improve your vehicle’s overall on- and off-road performance.
So, what’s “progressive engagement valving?” At lower speeds or in the earlier stages of the shock’s travel, an eccentric disc in the valve shin stacks will engage the valving at lower frequencies, helping to control the energy of motion as the cycle of the shock increases or decreases in its action. In practical terms, when hitting a pothole or other nonstandard road element, this technology allows for early flow of fluid, which helps to reduce harsh initial impacts and minimize rough rides.
The core of this new and innovative strut from Rancho® is the unique and patented rebound valving system and an advanced compression phase of the strut. This proprietary process, developed by the ride engineers at Rancho, will elevate the overall handling and performance of your vehicle on and off-road.
