A smoother and more comfortable ride:
The high-quality proprietary rubber used in a Flexiride rubber torsion axle, along with the independent suspension which allows each tire to operate independently from the others, means reduced noise, less sway, and a super-smooth ride. Also, the progressive torque characteristics, which increases load carrying capacity as a load is progressively applied, means a smooth ride even when your trailer is unloaded.
Stronger and safer construction:
The spindle arm is forged in one piece, making it much stronger than a welded component. A full axle acts as a frame cross member, increasing structural integrity and helping to prevent frame twisting. Since the rubber cartridge is enclosed inside the axle, there are no points to pinch.
Adjustable trailer height:
The torsion bar, a splined joint, is adjustable from six degrees above to degrees below the horizontal, allowing it to accommodate a great variety of applications. Since the spindle isn’t welded in place, it can easily be replaced by simply removing a bolt.
Quick and easy installation:
The basic configuration of Flexiride rubber torsion axles require only four bolts to install them on the frame, although some customized versions might require some welding.
Maintenance free operation:
With no metal-to-metal contact between any of the components in the system, there’s no need for lubrication, and there are no other parts, like hangers, shackles, and shocks, to wear out.
