Predator: Performance Shocks & Struts - RAW 4x4 South Africa : RAW 4×4 South Africa

Performance Range: The RAW 4×4 Predator range brings together on road prowess and off road durability into a fast acting monotube design. The Predator delivers that elusive feeling of comfort and control. If you use your 4WD for day to day running around and off road adventures on the weekend, the Predator is what you are looking for.

The Predator series has been specifically designed for the 4×4 owner who is looking for that sometimes elusive combination of comfort and control. The design of the Predator is one of the most efficient heat dissipating shock absorber designs due to the single wall construction resulting in consistent performance on & off road with sharper steering response, less body roll and improved traction.

Manufacturing

The RAW Predator shock absorber range are manufactured in Australia based on a fast acting monotube design, incorporating a unique variable flow piston to reduce body roll and rapidly respond to the terrain ahead.

Features

46mm bore monotube

High VI index oil and HNBR oil seal with separate wiper seals

High pressure nitrogen gas to resist shock absorber fade

Ultimate in comfort and control when matched with RAW 4×4 springs

Engineered for performance

The RAW Predator monotube design maintains a fine balance between comfort and control, while maintaining strength and durability:

Increased rod diameter for extra strength and durability
Large body size helps the shock stay cooler for longer under extreme working conditions
Heavy duty low friction seal package, helps withstand additional side load in hard off-road conditions
Bump cap & wiper seal designed to keep dust and grime out.
High pressure nitrogen gas to resist shock absorber fade
High VI index oil which provide high levels of control even at elevated damper temperature

Predator in Action

Predator Dynometer testing

Our engineers and R&D team at Raw 4x4 test all shocks using our variable stroke dynometer. Data is fed through the computer to simulate corrugations and dipping dirt roads to work the shock absorber to it limitations. This data loop is then replayed multiple times to determine seal life and shock absorber fade at certain temperatures. The results of these dyno tests help our engineers develop better designed shocks for all conditions. The shock mounted on the dyon in this case is our new Predator mono tube, designed and manufactured in Australia.
