Brabus all of a sudden decided that Mercedes G-Class needs a new suspension system! So this being Brabus, they came up with something brilliant called the Ride Control, which makes the car either ‘extra comfortable’ or ‘sporty comfortable’ at the touch of an elegant aluminum button in center console. Available for all Mercedes G-Class models, the Ride Control system enhances the handling without compromise on comfort.

This system comes with newly developed gas-pressure shocks for front and rear axle which replaces standard units and has electronically controlled valves in each shock absorber to switch to the selected mode and thus to dampen softer or firmer. Switching damper rates takes just five milliseconds and can be done while the vehicle is moving.

Upon engine start the system automatically pre-selects the last active setting prior to engine stop. The sport mode is indicated by a blue-illuminated selector switch.

The advantages of the innovative BRABUS suspension concept for the G-Class are apparent: In normal driving mode it provides notably higher ride comfort than the production car, which is especially beneficial at low speeds as well as on rough roads or in terrain. At higher speeds selecting the firmer sport damper settings offer more dynamic handling and further increased safety reserves.
