1K2

The 1K2 is a ‘high-end’ shock absorber with springs (also known as ‘coil-over’) for demanding street and competition use, that is adjustable in height and damping. It is modular and, apart from the piston rod, entirely composed of high-quality anodised aluminium or, if desired/required, steel. On average, the 1K2 light-alloy shock absorber is 30% lighter than a comparable steel shock absorber. The principle is based on the same technology that has helped Schumacher become a World Champion.
If it involves a Macpherson suspension, the absorber will feature a design with a 45mm Ø upside down insert. This upside-down design delivers a much higher installation rigidity (less flexibility) to the Macpherson suspension. This higher installation rigidity results in much better handling and more direct steering behaviour.

Setting
All shock absorbers that Intrax manufactures are custom-built. This means the shock absorbers will only be manufactured once the specific data of the car (tyre type, use of the car, any adjustments made to the car, etc.) and the driver's wishes are known. Based on these data, the engineers calculate/design the ideal shock absorber, which will then be manufactured.

Adjustable damping
Due to the larger diameter of the 1K2's piston in comparison with the RSA, the adjustment can be even more refined. Unlike many competitors, Intrax deliberately opts for a single knob for the adjustment of the damping. With this single knob, you can adjust the bump (inward stroke) and rebound (outbound stroke) at the same time, in the proper pre-programmed ratio.

Thermostat
The 1K2 damper is fitted with an internal thermostat. The thermostat keeps the damping constant at varying temperatures. This means the damping and driving behaviour remain exactly the same at various operating and ambient temperatures.

Large diameters
Where possible, the housing of the 1K2 shock absorber is made of high-quality aluminium. This guarantees a low weight, maximum strength and optimal cooling. Whilst designing the 1K2 shock absorber, the largest possible diameter is chosen for even more accurate damping control; usually a 52mm housing with 46mm piston. Where possible, Macpherson struts are fitted as upside-downs with a 45mm (52mm for the XL version) diameter instead of a thin piston rod that is mounted to the chassis.

Options

 

Black Titan

The shock absorber set can be equipped with the “Black Titan” coating, which will be applied on the guidance- and piston rod. Black Titan is an development from military aircraft industry. Their engines must perform under the toughest conditions, they must function from +40°C up to -30°C. After they fitted their engines with Black Titan, the service interval was increased by 100%.  Intrax decided that what is good for their airplane engines must be good for our shock absorbers. The Black Titan coating, which will be applied on the guidance- and piston rod, cannot rust and is extreme hard and smooth. The friction is lowered with these piston rods, reducing oil temperatures, improving traction and extending life time under the severest conditions.

ARC (Anti Roll Control)®

After years of development Intrax did it. They developed a unique way to drastically reduce unwanted roll (lateral and longitudinal). Your car will have the comfort and all the other benefits of driving with “soft” springs, until you take a corner, need to brake or drive through a putt hole/over a curb. Then ARC® will control ride height and will corner and brake with the feel of a sport setup, but the curb/putt hole will be taken like you’re driving soft springs. So for the first time you can have the benefits of a soft spring set up without  the disadvantages of too much body roll and/or collapsing suspension in putt holes, jumps, curbs.
