Enduro X is still an independent trailing arm coil suspension system ; however , key changes should make it even more suitable for Australia travellers .
First , the suspension arm is no longer manufactured from tube steel . Rather , it ’ s a two-piece pressed metal design that is robotically welded together and finished in a special automotivegrade ‘ eCoat ’ that ’ s intended to protect it from chips , rust and other damage . Each piece of pressed steel features what looks like valleys and peaks – a design element that adds significant strength .
According to AL-KO , this design – an innovation of the company ’ s Melbourne-based engineers – is lighter and stronger than the previous box-section arms found on the Enduro Outback system .
While Enduro Outback had fixed stub axles , Enduro X uses a forgedsteel bolt-on stub that provides two adjustable ride heights : 210mm in the bottom position , and 160mm in the top position .
One of AL-KO ’ s aims with Enduro X was to create a suspension system that could be fitted easily to all chassis types and suit all capacities and ride heights , making life much easier for chassis and caravan manufacturers .
It is also designed to accommodate airbags , should the caravan owner decide to fit them down the track , and it ’ s also compatible with caravan disc braking systems , not to mention AL-KO Electronic Stability Control and the company ’ s new Tow Assist towing safety package , which includes ABS .
