Heavy Track Series Shock – Front

Heavy Track Series red painted externally rebound adjustable mono-tube high pressure gas charged shock absorber.

Shocking conditions or winding roads? When asphalt becomes boring and gravel, dirt and dust are too tempting, Heavy Track 4 x 4 shock absorbers by KONI are the ideal all-terrain option. These shock absorbers will deliver optimum road holding and comfort both on and offroad. Our 4 x 4 shock absorbers have been specially developed by KONI for 4WD’s and Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV’s). Tested under extreme conditions, these dampers satisfy the highest offroad demands with regards to safety, stability and grip. These shocks ensure greater stamina for both drivers and vehicles. Also on the road, you can count on greater comfort and a higher level of safety, more stability and better roadholding. In short, Heavy Track shock absorbers from KONI are perfect ‘all road’ shocks absorbers, irrespective of the driving conditions.
KONI Heavy Track shock absorbers are simply and completely rebound adjustable. This means that the rebound characteristic can be completely adapted to the circumstances. Furthermore, Heavy Track shock absorbers have large reserves of damping power available. And that’s not all. KONI shocks are of superior quality. This is not only evident from the robust construction but also from the materials used such as the seals which are resistant to high temperatures.

Features:

• Optimum handling, road holding and grip
• Adjustable rebound forces for all on and offroad conditions
• Specially developed, high quality materials for maximum performance
• Better driving characteristics
• Rugged construction

What ARE Mono-Tube Shocks?

Monotube design shock absorbers, sometimes referred to as high pressure nitrogen gas shock absorbers, have a single tube in which the shock components operate in. This design works without a reservoir tube, instead the oil capacity is controlled with a floating piston. The floating piston is important in keeping the oil and nitrogen gas separated during the stroke of the shock absorber, when the damper is controlling the suspension of the vehicle. With no reservoir tube, there is a need to store the oil that is displaced by the rod when entering the cylinder. This is achieved by making the oil capacity of the cylinder adaptable. The cylinder is not completely filled with oil, with the lower part containing nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas and oil are separated by the floating piston. When the piston rod moves in and out the oil flows through the piston generating bump and rebound damping and ultimately controlling the movement of your vehicle.

External Adjustment

KONI developed and manufactured the first adjustable telescopic shock absorbers and continue to innovate adjustment technology in each product. KONI External Adjustment is used on the Twin-tube and Mono-Tube design shock absorbers. This type of adjustment can be made with the shock on the vehicle and in any height of motion. Almost all KONI externally adjustable dampers are quickly and easily adjusted by placing the KONI adjuster knob on the adjuster tab that sticks out of the top mounting threading.
