The rCTRL rear suspension has been further developed for the 2025 season. The shock absorbers are now shorter, and the limiter straps have been shortened as well. The LFS Racing front suspension shock absorbers have also been shortened to match the changes made to the rear suspension. Overall, these changes aim to lower the sled's center of gravity, resulting in improved control.
The calibrations of the rCTRL rear suspension's KYB PRO RS 46 HLCR Kashima shock absorbers have been adjusted, and center and rear shocks have new springs – stiffer in rear and lighter in center. As a result of these changes, the sled takes off more smoothly for jumps, is better controlled on rhythm sections, and is more agile in corners.
The rCTRL rear suspension, introduced to the Rave RS last season, is based on a unique center-to-rear linkage. The key feature of the suspension is its mechanism, where force is transmitted from the rear arm’s shock absorber to the center arm. This unique solution provides the suspension with excellent damping power and carrying capacity. The efficiency of the mechanism allows the center arm to have high carrying capacity with low spring rate and minimal damping. Another important factor is the minimal variation in track tension, which makes the sled roll better and faster on the track.
