Solid Piston Technology

The KW V5 Racing (formerly: KW Competition 4A) is characterised by its innovative solid-piston technology for the race track. The technology allows the driver direct feedback from the vehicle.

  • Piston rod diameter: 15 mm
  • Precise characteristic curve design in the range between 1,000 N and 10,000 N
  • Rotatable external reservoir as piggyback (45° positions) or with hose connection

Adjusting the suspension setup: KW V5 Racing

Separate low and high-speed rebound and compression valves are available for perfect adjustment of the damper setup. The short-stroke valve reacts precisely and quickly for maximum feedback and performance. Thanks to numerous customisation options, an individual characteristic curve design is possible in a force range from 1,000 N to 10,000 N.

Solid piston displacement principle

The KW V5 Racing damper enables a direct response of the vehicle with minimal hysteresis thanks to the built-in solid piston displacement principle. If required, the modular damper can also be extended with an adjustable blow-off valve.

V5 Racing technology in detail

KW V5 Racing T1 | KW Suspension | Autoclinic PH

The compression damping is adjustable with 18 clicks in low speed and 18 clicks in high speed. The compression stage is already ideally set upon delivery.

KW V5 Racing T2 | KW Suspension | Autoclinic PH

The blow-off characteristic ensures optimum support for the vehicle body and guarantees a constant connection to the road.

KW V5 Racing T3 | KW Suspension | Autoclinic PH

The high-speed rebound stage influences how quickly the suspension spring relaxes back to its initial position.

KW V5 Racing T4 | KW Suspension | Autoclinic PH

Depending on the vehicle type, aluminum Unibal support bearings have a scalable camber adjustment and are optionally adjustable in caster.

KW V5 Racing dampers for the Formula Student

KW V5 Racing Formula Student | KW Suspension | Autoclinic PH

The KW V5 Racing ‘Formula Student’ is a damper specially developed for formula racing. With precise damping control and individual adjustment, it offers excellent driving stability and traction. Thanks to its compact design with integrated reservoir, the damper, which is based on the monotube damping principle, is the first choice for numerous student teams.

Value and quality

Technology

The KW V5 Racing is a high-performance damper based on a 4-way adjustable displacement principle. The McPherson application is an upsidedown version with a 40 mm cartridge and plain bearings. The advantage is the even lower gas pressure and the associated low gas extension force of the piston rod. With this displacement principle, we achieve maximum precision because a larger quantity of oil flows through the valves than with conventional systems. High damping forces of up to 10000N are possible. The housing is made of high-strength aluminum or galvanized steel.

Motorsport spring disc

Secured spring disc with a lock ring to prevent unintentional adjustment during racing. Aluminum spring plate with fine thread for precise adjustment of the wheel load and stepless adjustment of the ride height. The lower center of gravity improves the handling of the car. Optionally with shim height adjustment for setting the wheel load without adjusting the spring preload.

KW V5 Racing

Setup

Every KW Racing suspension is individually tuned by our specialists based on years of experience and vehicle-related data. As a result, we not only achieve maximum performance but also less tire wear and better lap times.

Valve technology

Independently adjustable damping with 18 precise clicks in compression, low-speed, and high-speed rebound to find the right setup for every requirement. External reservoir as a piggyback directly on the shock or with a steelflex hose for particularly tight spaces.
