WELCOME, TO ANOTHER DIMENSION
Imagine being able to adapt your FOX dampers to all types of terrain instantly
and without having to get out of the vehicle and re-tune?
Everything is possible with the new IQS electronic system.
The iQS system not only allows you to adjust the dampers while driving from the driver's seat, it also provides a greater range of adjustment through the electronic valve. This means that you can readjust all the functionality of your dampers depending on the terrain you want to approach, without having to stop to make an adjustment.
HOW IT WORKS?
With this upgrade kit, you can change the high and low speed compression “On the fly”, from inside the vehicle while driving, controlling and modifying all shock absorbers to achieve, with a simple “click”, the best possible response in any type of terrain.
Imagine that you enter a fast curve followed by a tight curve with deep grooves, or that on part of the stage there is a large bit of asphalt. Just switch from Soft or Medium to Firm and the vehicle will have a significantly better response both in driving and in speed.
With this upgrade kit you can change the high and low speed compression “On the fly”, from inside the vehicle while driving.
TWO QUICK QUESTIONS
May I install the IQS in my SSV?
This IQS upgrade can be installed on all CAN-AM X3 equipped with original FOX shock absorbers with high and low speed adjustment.
May I test the IQS before buying it?
Any interested customer can test this system. OffMax has a shock absorber set equipped with this kit that can be installed on the customer's vehicle by our technicians, by prior planning.
The complete installation of the IQS has a cost of 4,849 euros (without VAT), and includes the basic maintenance of all shock absorbers, complete installation of the kit and tests with our technicians.
THREE OPTIONS
OF ADJUSTMENT
Compression is the resistance that a shock absorber offers when compressing after an impact or simple terrain irregularities. This compression can be adjusted in two ways: through the hardness of the springs, which will act as a brake on the compression of the shock absorber; or by adding resistence to the passage of oil through the valves of the washer set, where the IQS system operates.
With a reduced oil passage, we will have a firmer compression, with a greater passage in the hydraulic set, we will have less resistance to compression.
Three shocks in one
Compression, together with the rebound are the main settings of a shock absorber, always trying to achieve a perfect relationship between compressive strength and rebound speed. In this case, IQS helps us in a spectacular way by adapting the characteristics of our dampers to a wide range of terrains through the positions, soft, medium or firm.
Simply put, it is like having three different shock absorbers in the vehicle, changing from one to another by pressing a simple button.
| MODO | COMPORTAMENTO |
|---|---|
| 1- SUAVE | A compressão é ajustada ao mínimo para conseguir uma grande suavidade, ideal para zonas muito técnicas, de baixa velocidade e condução suave. |
| 2- MÉDIO | É um set up de compressão equilibrado que joga entre uma grande suavidade na parte inicial de trabalho do amortecedor e uma maior resistência na parte final do mesmo. É ideal para curvas rápidas e traçados irregulares. |
| 3- FIRME | Este modo ajusta a compressão ao máximo oferecendo uma grande resistência ao bater do amortecedor. Conseguimos um veículo mais controlado em altas velocidades e pistas limpas . Ideal também para enfrentar grandes saltos que provoquem forças fortes nas respostas das aterragens, este modo oefrece uma grande resistência para chegar ao final da zona de trabalho do amortecedor |
IN WHICH VEHICLE CAN I INSTALL ?
This IQS upgrade can be installed on all CAN-AM X3 equipped with original FOX shock absorbers with high and low speed adjustment. It is not compatible with other brand shock absorbers or FOX shock absorbers without this adjustment capability.
However, they can be installed in vehicles of other brands (Yamaha, Polaris, etc.) that use the same type of shock absorbers with high and low speed regulation.
For its installation, it is necessary to completely dismantle the dampers, which will imply basic maintenance of the four dampers. Replacing all o'rings, retainers and changing the oil and nitrogen.
It is advisable to replace the internal channels of the bypass with ones with different oil passages, and also changing the set of washers for the hydraulic control.
SYSTEM COMPOSITION AND COST
This system consists of 4 solenoids with valves that are replaced by the double compression regulators of each of the vehicle's shock absorbers and are responsible for controlling the flow of oil circulating through the shock, varying its compression in an easy and intuitive way. .
This Upgrade provides for the installation of the 4 solenoids, the Bosch control unit and the switch command, so it will only be available for installation at OffMax and BRM facilities in Portugal. After this installation, the customer will test the vehicle with the technicians in charge of the installation in a set of tests.
All those non-resident customers in Portugal who are interested in installing the IQS System, as soon as the Covid-19 pandemic allows travelling and, complying with all the required safety standards, OffMax has a team of technicians who can move through planning prior.
The complete installation of the IQS has a cost of 4,849 euros (without VAT), and includes the basic maintenance of all shock absorbers, complete installation of the kit and tests with our technicians. However, it does not include travel and associated costs.
This IQS upgrade can be installed on all CAN-AM X3 equipped with original FOX shock absorbers with high and low speed adjustment.
IQS - Intelligent Quick Switch
IQS
The IQS is a system that controls the 4 Shock Absorbers of the vehicle with 3 Modes SOFT, MEDIUM, FIRM. These adjustments are made electronically via a switch next to the steering wheel and can be done while driving.
Function
The damper compression adjusters are replaced by solenoids that control the oil circulation in the damper. These solenoids are controlled by a shock absorber control unit and react to the simple press of a switch near the steering wheel.
Which shocks are compatible?
Just have a shock absorber with a 29mm High and Low Compression Adjuster and your SSV can be equipped with IQS. All Can-Am with original FOX dampers can be equipped with IQS.
Benefits
Adjustment of the dampers without leaving the vehicle while driving. Simplification of compression adjustment. You never have to compromise on tuning your dampers again.
Installation
Kit Installation requires a complete overhaul of the dampers and installation of the wiring and unit in the vehicle. This installation can only be done at OFFMAX and BRM installations and it is necessary to bring the vehicle to us and proceed with the prior appointment of the installation.
Cost
The installation of the IQS costs 4,849 excluding VAT and includes the basic maintenance of the dampers, complete installation of the kit, tuning and testing at our facilities.
Solenoid that replaces compression adjusters. It is based on the same operating principle as the tuners but is controlled by a servo motor.
The IQS control switch with the three positions, Soft, Medium and Firm.
Bosch control unit that interprets the pilot's request using the switch and commands the solenoids to change the settings.
BENEFITS OF THE IQS
COMVENIENCE
IQS allows you to adjust the shock absorbers from inside the vehicle instantly.
IMMEDIATE
Adjustment is immediate when driving, without the need to stop the vehicle.
ADJUSTING THE HARDNESS
It allows to adjust the hardness according to the terrain where we drive.
THREE OPTIONS
A 3-position switch adjusts the four units simultaneously in three modes: smooth, medium and firm.
