When it comes to state-of-the-art gas shocks and struts, KYB is a name that has long been recognized around the world. KYB shocks and struts are known for their unique design that undergone innovative engineering. These shocks can be availed at Bilstein shocks and are proven to be reliable, providing users with superior ride quality. This is also the reason why the KYB shocks and struts have become the standard equipment for vehicle manufacturers such as Ford, Mitsubishi, Lexus, and Infiniti.

KYB gas shocks and struts feature auto-adapt valving for a smooth, controlled ride, seamless cylinders and eye rings for durability, and multi-lip seals for long life reliability. The product’s multi-stage valve compression is the main reason behind its ability to adjust to road conditions almost automatically. When the vehicle runs under temperate road conditions, the valving allows the shock to travel freely for maximum ride comfort. When the vehicle runs under rough conditions, however, the shocks compressed at a faster rate. The valving is able to respond instantly, which gives the shock the ability to response firming and maintain tire contact and superb vehicle control.

Made from sintered metal, it is certified to last longer than other metals. This also extends the KYB shock life and adds on its incomparable durability. It has become a norm with shock cylinders and eye rings that they are formed by wrapping flat metal into cylindrical shapes. The downside of this is that the welded seam, which holds the cylinder is a real weak point. Repeated wear can split seams and this will eventually result in complete shock failure. Unlike most shocks, KYB shock cylinders and eye rings are extruded cylinders with no seams. And no seams mean no weak points and no seam failures.
