DRiV expands Monroe electric shock absorber range

DRiV, a subsidiary of Tenneco, has expanded its range of premium replacement electronic shock absorbers, branding the line ‘Monroe Intelligent Suspension RideSense’.

These are designed for direct-fit replacement of original equipment shocks on vehicles featuring electronic suspension technology.
Vehicle suspensions are becoming more and more sophisticated. A leading trend is the adoption of highly advanced electronic suspensions.

Adaptive, or semi-active, suspensions feature electronic dampers that adjust a vehicle’s ride and handling characteristics based on driver preference and changes in the driving environment.

Many popular passenger vehicle brands offer models equipped with adaptive suspensions from the Monroe Intelligent Suspension product portfolio. These factory-installed systems are often marketed under the vehicle manufacturer’s suspension brand, such as Audi’s Drive Select System, BMW’s Variable Damper Control and Adaptive M suspensions, Infiniti’s Digital Dynamic Suspension, Seat’s Dynamic Chassis Control, and Volvo’s Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) – but they were designed and manufactured with the help of Monroe engineers.

What each of these models have in common is a Monroe Intelligent Suspension technology known as CVSAe (Continuously Variable Semi-Active). This system enables drivers to switch on-demand between different driving modes ranging from comfortable and refined to sporty. CVSAe technology and other Monroe Intelligent Suspension solutions have helped transform the driving experience for an entire generation of vehicle owners.

The Monroe Intelligent Suspension RideSense products are engineered to meet each vehicle’s specific OE ride and handling profile and come with a five-year product quality and performance limited warranty. In addition, each unit is delivered in high-quality premium single packaging with updated branding designed to appeal to customers and resist potential damage associated with shipping and handling.

Available through the same leading parts and service providers that carry and install Monroe OESpectrum, Monroe Original and Monroe Adventure passive shock absorbers, Monroe Intelligent Suspension RideSense electronic shocks provide seamless, “plug-and-play” integration with the corresponding vehicle’s Monroe Intelligent Suspension electronic control unit.
