KIT-QUAD ADVANTATGES
The design of the
Kit-Quad allows us to offer "all in one" product that provided high speed stability and off road traction
without trade offs. The system offers simultaneously "hard" settings for pitch and roll, and a "soft"
settings for heave and axle-crossing. This solution works without compromising the advantages of one option over another,
and the most important, without compromising in any moment the safety of passengers.
The Kit-Quad brings confident steering well above
conventional systems. It is designed and built to optimize all vehicle movements (heave, roll, pitch, and axle crossing)
independently one from each other.
This independence in the suspension explains that we can
offer simultaneously the following advantages.
Roll stiffness:
Pith stiffness:
Vertical Movement softness:
-
smooths and improves steering in potholed corners,
elliminating wheel fighting
-
reduces the fatigue of the pilot.
-
increases confidence in the vehicle handling
Axel-crossing less rigit:
-
improves the adaptation to complicated terrain
(trial)
-
increases traction in very uneven surfaces
-
reduces the need for the use of 4x4 connection
-
reduces the impact of potholes in the steering

ALL WHEELS ON EARTH
The system distributes the weight of the vehicle on each wheel.
This means that on very irregular surfaces, the suspension can flex easier than the conventional springs as it provides the
stability without any antiroll bar
This is immediately felt on sand and snow where the increment
of traction is very welcome. It also makes the vehicle more stable on the extreme situations

The ability to distribute the vehicle weight onto the
wheels also works backwards. When a bump is taken at high speed, the suspension distributes the effects among all wheels.
Therefore, bumps do not generate wheel load fluctuations as normal suspension does. The net result is a better handling over
irregular surfaces, and less steering effort to maintain the quad on track
