HBS TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED:
EXT was the first to introduce this technology in a rally car. The Hydraulic Bump Stop is a secondary position sensitive piston can up to develop 30KN force at 3m/s. The HBS can be adjusted in case of bottom out problems. This adjuster makes the compression more progressive. In this way it’s possible to run with a softer spring for more traction. HBS only controls the last part of the stroke, in this way the driver can rely on a very plush feeling, a perfect handling, and a great support on the last millimeters of your travel. More than 50% of dedicated hydraulic strength exclusively to control the bottom out.
