When conditions get tough, standard shock absorbers are prone to failure. Many manufacturers use low quality seals, which are prone to leaking. End fittings are often spot-welded and outer tube walls can be thin and incapable to surviving impacts. Due to these limitations, shock absorbers are the most failure-prone suspension component.
After many years in the shock absorber industry, and already the market leader in heavy duty dampers for buses, trucks, military vehicles and railway carriages, Koni set out to design a market-leading product specifically aimed at the off-road Raid market. For those unfamiliar with the term, RAID refers to long-distance off-road racing, with competitions and events usually taking place over several days. For shock absorbers to survive Raid use, they need to be exceptionally strong and durable, both in terms of their internal components and their external structure.
Koni RAID shocks are designed to be a non-sophisticated but effective product, with sufficient comfort for road driving but also the durability to win competitions and to withstand external damage without affecting internal components. Koni RAID has been used in races and events worldwide, including the Paris-Dakar Rally. RAID shocks were selected by Top Gear for their successful attempt to drive to the North Magnetic Pole in 2007.
Koni RAID shocks are off-vehicle adjustable. This allows you to adjust the rebound forces in order to correctly pair your damper to your springs or constant loads, to enhance performance and increase lifespan. Now you can bring high-level race technology to your 4WD or truck.

“Will Koni Raid shocks fit my car without modification?”
Yes, Koni Raid shocks are a direct fit.
“Are Koni Raid shocks easy to adjust?”
Yes, full instructions are included with the product.
“Do Koni Raid shocks contain nitrogen?”
Koni Raid shocks are hydraulic, which means that they are only under pressure when compressed. Unlike many brands, they are not nitrogen filled.
“Why are Koni Raid shocks so durable?”
Koni Raid shocks are 360 degree welded and have thicker outer walls than most brands, giving significantly improved durability.
“What is the difference between RAID and Heavy Track Raid?”
Raid shocks are 360 degree welded and have thicker outer walls and a larger 70mm body diameter. Heavy Track, part of the Raid product family, have a 50mm body diameter. Whilst Heavy Track is a heavy duty product and is suited to most conditions, Raid shocks are also suited to competition and extreme uses.
“Are Koni Raid shocks suitable for competition or off-road use?”
Yes, this product is suitable for most competition uses, along with overland builds, heavy off-roading and towing.
