ASK THE EXPERT: How does Dynamix suspension work?
·
Certain Polaris RZR models come equipped with our Polaris DYNAMIX semi-active suspension. Polaris DYNAMIX proactively makes split-second decisions based on operator inputs, controlling the shocks to achieve optimum performance, control and stability under varying riding conditions and driving styles. The equipped Suspension Control Module (SCM) allows you to change the suspension control mode to your preference and requirements.
Active Vehicle States
DYNAMIX semi-active suspension monitors steering angle, lateral acceleration, vehicle yaw rate, pedal position and acceleration/deceleration to determine if there is an active vehicle state. DYNAMIX will then adjust the shocks to maximize rider comfort and avoid loss of control.
- Cornering: When you corner, the outside shocks instantly firm up to reduce body roll, keeping the vehicle flat. DYNAMIX will also register counter-steering and adjust accordingly.
- Braking: When you brake, DYNAMIX immediately strengthens the front shocks to reduce body motion and increase available compression travel.
- Accelerating: DYNAMIX stiffens all shocks as speed increases. The rear shocks will firm up to maximize horsepower when acceleration is sudden or aggressive to keep the vehicle level.
- Airborne: When airborne, DYNAMIX adjusts all four shocks to maximum resistance to prevent bottoming out when you land. The system will revert to the user-selected drive mode afterwards.
