.........the e-shock offers fully automated, semi-active damping adjustment based on riding conditions and engine power mode selection (Full, Medium, and Low). It’s engineered for those that would rather spend time riding then fiddling with suspension clickers.

remote adjust has enough ice load tear-up problems as I understand from seeing posts on forums. More cables and hoses?, probably more trouble than it's worth on a snowmobile. JMO
 
That p.o.s. looks like a nightmare waiting to happen. When you can have Hygear revalve and spring a stock shock for your weight, there's no way in heck I could justify the $2200.00 or so dollars that I'm sure this thing will cost.

Edit: MSRP $1625.00 US.
 
That is essentially an Ohlins TTX shock with the next generation of electronic control on both damping circuits. Most of the TTX stuff is built to be manually adjuted. The TTX shocks are awesome, they use positive pressure to make their business happen, so cavitation is hard to come by when beating on them. Something rough trail riders should be concerned with.
 
I was hopping someone would try some of these, still have wires tho. Magneto Rheological (MR) Fluid in these active dampers enable LORD's MR suspension systems to better accommodate the rough terrain of military applications.
