LXi Koni FSD Shocks

[David Brady]

I spoke with Justin at Koni. Koni is now road testing a set
of FSD, Frequency Selective Dampeners, for the LXi. These
are the shocks that ship on the M380 and 450LXi with great
acclaim. They should be available by the end of summer.

FSD shocks vary the dampening rate based on the oscillation
frequency and speed. This means that the shock is stiffer for slow
moving undulations, lane changes for example, and softer for
fast high frequency bumps, cobblestone and bridge abutments
for example. The valve change inside the shock is passive, no
electronics involved, so they should be as reliable as the SP1's
and SP2's we currently use. They reportedly work wonders
on the ride and handling.

No Financial Interest,
