Driving can be less enjoyable, even dangerous. But it doesn't have to be. Rugged precision engineered MonoMax shocks give SUVs and trucks a tout, sedan-like ride, regular shocks cannot deliver. Eliminates nose dive when braking Controls vehicle pitch and roll Reduces acceleration squat Precisely controls ride with auto-adapt valving Applications, Pricing, & Online Ordering Download the KYB MultiView Product Catalog   MADE TO BE PUNISHED - MADE TO LAST   The best ride control means nothing if it doesn't last. That's why KYB has engineered MonoMax to endure the punishment of off-road driving and still outlast regular shocks. 1. velocity-sensitive valving Multi-stage valve compression enables the shock to adjust to driving conditions automatically. Under gentle road conditions, the valving allows maximum ride comfort. As conditions get rougher, the valving makes the shock response firmer to maintain tire contact and vehicle control. 2. sintered iron pistons and guide rods Sintered metal provides for greater strength than traditional metals, extending shock life and durability. 3. extra large floating piston and monotube design Extra-large 46mm bore and piston for the most demanding conditions. Monotube design and floating piston keep oil and nitrogen gas completely separate, eliminating shock fade. 4. micro-smooth, hardened / chromed 5/8” piston rods KYB has the smoothest hardened/chromed rods in the business for extra-long life and reliability. MonoMax shocks feature oversize 5/8" piston rods for extra strength. 5. seamless cylinders and eye rings Most shock cylinders & eye rings are made from flat metal and welded at the seam.KYB cylinders and eye rings are extruded as seamless cylinders, eliminating weak points created by welded seams.   6. Viton® oil seal with self-sealing packing KYB monotube shocks use Viton® oil seals and self-sealing packing to keep the oil in and contaminants out.
