UltraSteer®
Handling Luxury with Precision.
As the first line of tag axles that are fully-integrated and precision-tuned to react to turns and maneuvers of the coach, UltraSteer establishes a new standard for premium RV ride and handling.
Features
- Auto-Locks to straight @ 20mph and in reverse for complete control
- Flexible coach packaging for increased storage options
- QuickAlign and optimized rubber bushings increase suspension life and reduce maintenance
- Compatible with disc and drum brakes
Increased Maneuverability
- Up to 17% reduction in curb-to-curb turning radius as compared to an ordinary fixed tag axle—140% improvement over the competition
- 20% tighter turning angle than the nearest competitor
Improved Ride & Handling
- UltraSteer’s outboard-mounted design is more reactive to roll input than inboard-mounted shocks, which improves handling in turns and maneuvers such as sudden lane changes
- Wide track suspension arms provide increased lateral stiffness over narrow track suspension arms, improving handling and safety (B-Series)
Tire Savings
- In contrast to rear mounted tie rods that can still cause tire scrub, the UltraSteer’s forward-mounted tie rods and correct steering geometry enable the inside wheel to have a 12° turning angle and follow the ideal turning path—eliminating tire scrub
Options
-
B-Series
A straight beam axle and wide track suspension arms provide increased lateral stiffness, delivering improved handling and safety in turns and sudden maneuvers while offering OEMs flexible floorplan options.
-
I-Series
An independent suspension on the tag axle provides enhanced overall ride quality and stability, with a comparable weight capacity and turning angle to the B-Series.
