Increasing rear squat for better tractionIncreasing rear squat for better traction
New lower pivot point
Under acceleration and braking, the rear squat, which is caused by weight transfer, improves traction
The position of the pivot point influences the ability to squat
It can be controlled with softer shocks, but this causes drawbacks on suspension capabilities and comfort.
However, it can be controlled with geometry by adjusting the height of pivot point
By lowering pivot point we have reduced the amount of force required to squat
Benefit:
Gives better traction and allows the suspension to be fine tuned for comfort and performance.
Double A-arm with dive-control geometryDouble A-arm with dive-control geometry New double A-arm front
suspension geometry with dive-control geometry
Increased suspension travel to 9 inches
Uses a shortened spindle for reduced kickback
Uses a reduced kingpin axis to keep the vehicle in straight line when braking
A more comfortable and predictable ride
Visco-lok and Visco-lok QE front differential
• Easy to steer when the differential is locking up
• Automatic locking differential; easy to use
• Progressive engagement and high torque capability
• Allows turns without inducing driveline wind-up or wheel hop
• 100% locking capability with no rev or speed limiter
Transfer
Dynamic Power Steering (DPS)Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) ONLY rider-selectable assist
levels power-steering on the market 3 modes (MIN, MED, MAX)
Direct-link magnetic field sensors for quicker response to steering input than competitors
Less kickback, more feedback because of higher final gear ratio than competitor's systems
High capacity fade-resistant 50-amp motor
Increased braking performance
• New outboard (in wheels) hydraulic disc braking system inspired by race-proven setup on Renegade
• 214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers
• New single, rear twin-piston hydraulic disc brake (214mm) in right rear wheel
• Fastest acceleration combined with efficient braking
Reduced unsprung weight
• New center-less, cast-aluminum wheels featuring computer-optimized design
• Computer-optimized to increase strength where needed, while removing weight where no material is needed.
New level of vehicle dynamic

Double A-arm with dive-control geometry
Tri-mode DPS
Visco-lok
214mm discs brakes with twin-piston calipers
Computer-optimized cast-aluminum wheels
Reduced kick-back geometry
The result is improved ride quality, more comfort for the rider, more traction, better cornering, and better directional control
