The X is Kinetic's most sophisticated and complex system providing a very high degree of functionary and performance. The operation of the X remains fundamentally passive, however the system incorporates a pump, sensors and controller to ensure system set-up remains correct and to allow ride height adjustment and control. The X replaces the conventional dampers, roll bars and support springs. It incorporates a simple double acting cylinder at each wheel, a central hydraulic Load Distribution Unit [LDU] and accumulators at the wheel and LDU positions all interconnected as shown on the diagram. The interconnection provides extremely high levels of roll stiffness while passively maintaining equally low levels of single wheel and articulation stiffness. It also allows pitch coupling. The interconnection also provides the opportunity to incorporate roll and pitch damping independently of wheel/body damping.

Although the X incorporates some electronics it is still a passive system. Power consumption for set-up control is minimal and response times for dynamic inputs remain instantaneous.
