EQUIPE4X4 EXTREME KIT
LRSOFFROAD brings you the ORIGINAL EXTREME KIT
from EQUIPE4X4 in ITALY
The Extreme kit is not the evolution of the Base Kits, it is a completely different system, and pride of LRS 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 contrary, 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.
Technically 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 trafficked 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.
