shocks offer several advantages over conventional shock absorbers that typically use static or minimally adjustable damping. These advantages arise from the system’s electronic adaptability, which can respond to driving and road conditions dynamically. Unlike conventional shocks that provide fixed damping characteristics, electronic shocks can independently adjust the damping for each shock, accommodating variations in load transfer, road irregularities, and vehiclemovement such as roll, pitch and heave. This adaptability results in:
• Enhanced road-holding capability: Better tyre contact on rough surfaces reduces wheel hop.
• Improved safety: Adaptive control enhances stability, reducing the likelihood of skids or rollovers.
• Optimised comfort and handling: Drivers experience reduced vibration, minimised body roll and superior handling through fast adjustments to suspension settings. The RideSense shocks incorporatematerials
that can withstand high frequencies and intense pressure changes. Components such as the electro-mechanical servo valve use magnetic materials responsive to current flow, allowing the shock to quickly alter damping levels.
These high-quality materials ensure
durability and consistent performance even under demanding conditions. Additionally, thesematerials contribute to the precise operation of the ECU-driven valves, translating to smoother ride quality and improved handling over time.
In 2024 more than 9,000,000 of Monroe Intelligent Suspension Ride Sense shocks were sold to OE manufacturers. Some of the more popular vehicles equipped with this technology are: • Audi: Audi A6, A6 Avant, Allroad. • BMW: BMW X3, X4, Z4, 1 Series, 3 Series • Ford: New Mondeo, Galaxy 2006, S-Max, Ecosport.
• Mercedes-Benz: Class C, Class E, Class E-AMG, Class E-4x4, Class V, Class E-AMG Combi, SLK, SLK-AMG, CLS, CLS-AMG, DC + AMG C/CLK and DC + AMG E/CLS.
RideSense shocks
• Volvo: S60, S60R, V70, V70R, S80, XC90.
• VW: Golf GTI, Golf TDI, Passat, Passat CC, Sharan, Tiguan, Arteon (PQ46, PQ36, MQBA, MQBB). RideSense shocks
are also covered by a five-year warranty.
Monroe Intelligent Suspension RideSense represents a leap forward in suspension technology, delivering a driving experience that far surpasses traditional damping systems. By integrating electronic adaptability, high- qualitymaterials, and precise
control mechanisms, RideSense enhances ride comfort, handling precision and road safety.
