KYB Skorched 4

KYB Skortched 4 Made to be punished! Made to last

The best ride control means nothing if it doesn’t last. That’s why KYB have engineered SKORCHED 4’s to endure the punishment of Off-Road driving. Built by the World’s Largest Supplier of O.E. Shock Absorbers. Designed and tested here in Australia.

Out-Back driving can quickly render a sub-standard shock absorber useless. Excessive heat build up due to incorrect valving and low oil volume will cause failure relatively quickly causing the oil and gas to leak out.

As not to reduce oil capacity in the shock absorber, KYB has opted for a 16mm diameter piston rod. The greater the oil volume, the slower the heat build up. A 35mm piston diameter gives a comfortable ride, which some larger diameter shock absorbers can’t deliver.

Carefully selected valving combinations, matched to ‘King Springs’ coils and leafs, offers an uncompromised ride with the ability to control a laden vehicle over endless kilometres of corrugated road.

The velocity-sensitive valving is a perfect combination to a progressively rated coil, helping to prevent wallowing and nose diving under heavy braking. A four step top seal keeps the dirt and foreign matter out, and the oil in.

The result is increased wheel travel and ground clearance (when fitted in conjunction with raised King Springs) with improved stability and control over rough terrain. This integrated suspension system is designed to also support vehicle accessories and offer increased vehicle dynamics when towing.

Unparalleled Ride Control and rdduced nose diving when braking.

Rugged precision engineered Skorched 4’s give 4WD’s a controlled, precise handling ride that other shocks cannot deliver.

Controls vehicle pitch and roll and precisely controls ride with auto-adaptive valving

Hardened chromed 16mm diameter piston rod is one of the strongest on the market, resulting in unmatched side load strength Twin Tube design eliminates fade and maintains shock performance under hard use Self-sealed packing keeps oil in and contaminates out to ensure proper performance Micro-smooth, hard chromed piston rods provide longer seal life and reliability Sintered iron pistons and guide rods for extended shock life and durability Seamless cylinders and eye rings eliminate weak points and seam failures Velocity-sensitive valving adjusts automatically to harsh road conditions.

KYB - AGX Shocks

Import Sport High performance has become the hottest segment in the business. Now, KYB introduces the perfect high performance shock for today's high technology consumer.

Built with the advanced engineering and exceptional quality you'd expect from KYB, AGX lets the driver tune their shocks to match driving conditions in seconds.

Fast on car adjustment: No need to fit the vehicle or remove anything to change settings. Damping rate is selected with an external knob on the shock body or a screw driver slot at the top of the piston rod, depending on the model.

Adjustable damping allows one shock to meet all conditions: Strip, Cruising, High Speed Touring, Street and Track.

The single damping adjustment on the AGX Shock changes both the rebound and compression strokes. Depending on the model, there are either four or eight stages of adjustment.

In addition to manually adjustable damping settings, AGX features 3-stage, real-time, auto adjusting damping.

When driving on a smooth surface, shock movements are relatively slow and the AGX valving allows the shock to travel freely. As road conditions get rougher, the shock is compressed faster. AGX responds instantly to make response firmer, maintaining tyre contact and vehicle control.

This 3 stage valve action allows AGX Shocks to adjust to road conditions automatically.
