  1. Increasing rear squat for better traction • Under acceleration and braking, the rear squat, which is caused by weight transfer, improves traction • The position of the pivot point influences the ability to squat • It can be controlled with softer shocks, but this causes drawbacks on suspension capabilities and comfort. • However, it can be controlled with geometry by adjusting the height of pivot point • By lowering pivot point we have reduced the amount of force required to squat Benefit: • Gives better traction and allows the suspension to be fine tuned for comfort and performance. New lower pivot point

  2. Double A-arm with dive-control geometry • New double A-arm front suspension geometry with dive-control geometry • Increased suspension travel to 9 inches • Uses a shortened spindle for reduced kickback • Uses a reduced kingpin axis to keep the vehicle in straight line when braking • A more comfortable and predictable ride

  3. Visco-lok and Visco-lok QE front differential • Easy to steer when the differential is locking up • Automatic locking differential; easy to use • Progressive engagement and high torque capability • Allows turns without inducing driveline wind-up or wheel hop • 100% locking capability with no rev or speed limiter Transfer Spinning wheel

  4. Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) • ONLY rider-selectable assist levels power-steering on the market • 3 modes (MIN, MED, MAX) • Direct-link magnetic field sensors for quicker response to steering input than competitors • Less kickback, more feedback because of higher final gear ratio than competitor's systems • High capacity fade-resistant 50-amp motor

  5. Increased braking performance • New outboard (in wheels) hydraulic disc braking system inspired by race-proven setup on Renegade • 214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers • New single, rear twin-piston hydraulic disc brake (214mm) in right rear wheel • Fastest acceleration combined with efficient braking

  6. Reduced unsprung weight • New center-less, cast-aluminum wheels featuring computer-optimized design • Computer-optimized to increase strength where needed, while removing weight where no material is needed.

  7. New level of vehicle dynamic The result is improved ride quality, more comfort for the rider, more traction, better cornering, and better directional control Torsional Trailling arm independent rear suspension New frame Tri-mode DPS Double A-arm with dive-control geometry Geometric Contact Control Visco-lok Computer-optimized cast-aluminum wheels Reduced kick-back geometry 214mm discs brakes with twin-piston calipers

  8. Meaningful innovation/ design • New body style • Modern, yet bold-and-robust look • No apparent fasteners for cleaner sightlines • Improved mud protection

  9. Meaningful innovation/ design • New high-strength racks with integrated anti-skid surface preventing objects from moving during ride • Multiple edges and holes for tie-downs/bungee cords

  10. Meaningful innovation/ design • New LinQ quick-attach accessory system

  11. Meaningful innovation/ design • Large 5.7-gallon water-resistant rear storage

  12. Meaningful innovation/ design • 230-watt lighting with 55-watt reflectors and 60-watt projectors • Projectors are better for long view • Reflectors are better for wide view

  13. Meaningful innovation/ design • Easy access to maintenance features • Large 5.4 gal (20.5-liter) fuel tank; 25% increase
