Compatibility

Patented FSD Technology

Featuring KONI's Patented ACTIVE FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) technology, EXPLORER offers drivers a no-compromise level of control without the harshness associated with extreme shock absorber forces. Continuously and automatically adjusting damping, FSD firms up when additional vehicle control is needed, while softening over rough washboard terrain when added comfort, traction and reduced cabin noise is desired.

Superior Temperature Control

FSD's ACTIVE technology continuously adjusts to driver and road inputs, keeping oil temperatures 10% lower compared to non-FSD equipped dampers. This temperature reduction helps minimize shock fade over the entirety your adventure, regardless of terrain

Supports up to 3-Inch Lifts

EXPLORER is engineered for vehicle applications with suspension lifts up to 3 inches. In strut-type configurations, robust C-Clips enable accurate ride height adjustment and are compatible with both OEM and aftermarket coil springs. For vehicles utilizing traditional shock absorbers, EXPLORER supports suspension systems with up to 3 inches of lift when equipped with aftermarket springs

Aluminum Monotube Construction

KONI Explorer utilizes a nitrogen charged, 7000- series aluminum mono-tube design. Featuring an over-sized 50mm piston, the increased piston area improves oil flow and heat dissipation, reducing fade and maintaining consistent damping. Drivers experience better control, improved traction, and predictable performance in demanding off-road conditions.

Application Specific Tuning

Unlike generic or “one-size-fits-all” shocks, every KONI EXPLORER shock and strut is precision-tuned for the specific dynamics of each vehicle it’s designed for. That means whether you're driving a fully-loaded overland rig, purpose-built Jeep, or daily driven truck, the damping is calibrated to complement your vehicle’s original suspension geometry, weight distribution, and intended use.

Monotube

Monotube design shock absorbers, sometimes referred to as high pressure nitrogen gas shock absorbers, have a single tube in which the shock components operate in. This design works without a reservoir tube, instead the oil capacity is controlled with a floating piston. The floating piston is important in keeping the oil and nitrogen gas separated during the stroke of the shock absorber, when the damper is controlling the suspension of the vehicle.
