How KONI Special Active works
Special Active uses KONI’s patented Frequency Selective Damping to automatically adapt the damping level to match the frequency of suspension movement. It tightens control during large body motions and cornering, then relaxes to absorb high-frequency surface imperfections for a refined ride. No wires, sensors or settings. Just intelligent, mechanical damping that feels right everywhere.
