RIASORB® applies rotational shear on specially formulated elastomers incorporated in a patented bushing design to deliver a tailored, active and controlled reaction in direct proportion to the speed and force of any impact.

RIASORB® is unique in that it can fulfill many functions, including suspension (combined shock absorption and damping), vibration control, resistance and overload protection - all in one compact mechanism that requires no lubrication.

Where traditional suspension operates a dual system, using a spring to resist force allowing greater time of impact, and a shock mechanism to control the return, the naturally damped qualities of elastomers in the patented RIASORB® design can operate in isolation (incorporating both functions) or work with traditional suspension to greatly enhance performance.
