KONI Special ACTIVE Shock Absorbers

Designed for motorhomes, campervans, and light commercial vehicles operating under heavy loads or challenging terrain, this system transforms your driving experience for smoother, safer journeys every time.

Ultimate Comfort, Control & Stability

The Glide-Rite Special Duty Kit combines our advanced suspension technology with KONI Special ACTIVE shock absorbers to deliver exceptional stability, control, and comfort in all driving conditions.

Enhanced Handling for Demanding Conditions

Built for vehicles that work hard and travel far, the Glide-Rite Special Duty Kit ensures improved stability and control, even in the most extreme situations.

Ideal for drivers who frequently carry heavy payloads, travel off-road, or demand the very best in comfort and performance.

Adaptive Damping, Effortless Comfort

The KONI Special ACTIVE shock absorbers use innovative FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) technology to automatically adapt to changing road conditions.

Soft over small bumps, firm when control is needed, with no electronics or switches, just pure mechanical precision.

How does KONI Special ACTIVE differ from standard shock absorbers? 

KONI Special ACTIVE uses mechanical FSD technology to adapt automatically to road conditions — soft when comfort is needed, firm when control is required.

Do I need to upgrade my entire suspension system? 

Not necessarily. KONI Special ACTIVE shocks can be fitted as part of Glide-Rite’s Special Duty Kit or integrated with existing Glide-Rite suspension systems.

Is the system suitable for heavy or commercial vehicles? 

Yes. It’s designed for motorhomes, campervans, and light commercial vehicles that regularly carry heavy loads or travel on uneven roads.

Can it improve cabin comfort and reduce noise? 

Absolutely. The system reduces vibration, body roll, and road noise, creating a smoother, quieter drive.

What Our Customers Say

Advice, options, price, fitting service and communication were excellent. These people could not be more helpful and they will get my business again without question. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Glide-Rite carried out the annual hydraulics check/service and the installation of an air suspension assist system on our motorhome earlier this year. As always, the work was done to the high standard I have come to expect, and in an agreeably timely manner. This company is easy to deal with, and I commend their products, personnel and level of service to all who have need of these.

Excellent company with fantastic service. The air suspension and hydraulics installed on my vehicle have been tremendous. Carl, David and the team are experienced professionals who are so easy to get along with. Couldn’t ask for a better service.
