The Extreme
kit is not the evolution of the Base Kits, it is a completely different
system, and pride of DRAKEN Off Road.Thanks
to our exclusive design the rear wheels copy the terrain extremely well.
Especially when traversing very rough terrain we have a formidable wheel
travel and virtually no chance to get cross-axled. A vehicle equipped with
the Extreme Kit can gain traction when others are already stuck. Road
handling is also improved due to the better response given by the stiffer
springs and shock absorbers.
By having more
chance to having it's wheels on all four corners at all times on the ground,
the vehicle does not bounce when riding over rough terrain, on the contary,
it smoothly absorbs it virtually eliminating the risk of roll. Vehicles with
less wheel travel have to use speed and build up inertia to traverse the
same terrain trying to surpass the cross-axle stretch. By doing so, their
wheels might just lift up in the air uncontrollably and when the wheels
touch down again, the chances of rolling over are great.
Tecnically all
this is achieved by our exclusively designed spring detaching system that
allows the spring to slide out of the upper bracket when traveling over
extremely rough terrain in order to copy it maintaining extreme stability.
The spring automatically slides back in it's place safely at any time, over
any terrain at all speeds. The shock absorbers are oversized and have a very
long travel and a superior rating to control the vehicle's movement at all
times keeping the driving smooth.This system has proven it's reliability and
safety in the Dakar race, in our Trans Taiga Labrador expedition and also by
driving us and many happy customers every day to work and back on the
heavily trafficated highways some of us unfortunately have to drive on.
In order to lift the axle for
maintenance or to change a tyre, the system provides a retaining strap at
each rear corner that can be clipped to allow you to reduce the wheel travel
almost to stock levels.
