New Dunlop kit for MAN and new Crafter

AirRide is pleased to announce a new Dunlop kit for the front wheel drive VW Crafter (2017 onwards models) and MAN TGE (partner vehicle). As with all Dunlop sales kits, these are load support kits, direct bolt-on and come with AirRide's five-year warranty. They also come with a full range of AirRide air management options, which vary from simple Schrader (tyre) valves to dash-mounted buttons or smartphone options.

These kits are simple, competent DIY or local garage-rated for fitment, and improve the ride, handling and stability of the vehicle. Many brand-new motorhomes are not road legal as supplied and require air suspension to achieve required suspension motion. This is ideal for heavy vans needing additional lift or support. In stock and ready to ship.

New AirRide Gold kits now available!

The AirRide Gold range has expanded!

You can now get a Gold kit for (*deep breath…*) your Mazda, Seat, Dodge, Honda Acura, Hyundai, Toyota, Volkswagen, Suzuki, Subaru, Skoda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Lexus, Nissan Infiniti, Honda, Daihatsu, Chrysler, BMW, Audi, MINI, Ford, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati!

This is the biggest range of kits we do at AirRide and the biggest range of air kits available in the UK that we know of!

Gold is great for those of you looking for a sporty ride. You can slam your car right down to the ground and also adjust it as you go to give you a bit more clearance when needed.

These kits also come with a management system of your choice, from simple paddle control to a computer that automatically adjusts your ride height depending on road conditions, can adjust your height at the touch of a button, and can be controlled with your phone from inside and outside the vehicle.

Air up your Audi

As our graphic designer’s  latest wonderful illustration shows, we now do AirRide Gold kits for Audis! Of course though, the AirRide Gold range covers around 600 vehicles and so many of them are not Audis. The Gold series offers a staggering level of drop, sporty handling, easy installs, and is available with air management too.

There’ll be more information, pictures and videos to follow shortly but in the meantime ping us an e-mail or visit the car finder to fit your car with air suspension.

New Compressor Guide

Compressors are the beating heart of any air suspension system, so we think it's fair to say that any air enthusiast should know all about them! This video discusses duty cycle, what to look for when choosing a compressor, pressures and many other interesting facts.

Luckily, we have an AirRide Guide on that very subject! Check it out here if you missed it earlier:

Union Custom Bag

We’ve decided to show our support for England later the only way we know how – by putting the Union Jack on an airbag (regrettably not currently for sale…)

Come on boys!

AirRide Gold for MINI

We’re now doing AirRide Gold kits for MINIs!

DID YOU KNOW that a MINI won Rally Finland, the fastest race in the World Rally Championship, three years running between 1965 and 1967? 

In fact, in 1967, driver Timo Mäkinen won the race with his MINI by eight seconds, despite the bonnet being open for part of the race!

Introducing AirRide Gold

AirRide-Gold - AirRide-Gold-9.jpg

We are proud to introduce our brand new product range: the AirRide Gold Series. Gold has generated some serious buzz since we announced it on Saturday and we are excited to finally be able to reveal all. So, without further ado: AirRide Gold is a new range of air suspension conversion kits designed to give you the very best air has to offer. The kits are 100% bolt-on, provide staggering levels of drop (and lift) and terrific handling and ride quality. This is as good as air ride gets – and we have four main reasons why:

  1. Tailored for you. Gold kits are made specifically for your car. We have hundreds of AirRide Gold kits ready to go on our website, and each kit is tailored for a particular car model. There’s no one-size-fits-all policy here.
  2. Easy to fit. The kits are 100% bolt-on, which means the majority should fit straight on to your vehicle. Any local garage should be able to fit AirRide Gold but it’s so simple you might even be able to fit it yourself!
  3. Everything you need. With Gold, you get a full air suspension kit – everything you need to be using air straight away. You can also choose to install a computer that means you can control your air from the driver’s seat and with a phone app – the app can be used to alter the height of your vehicle from both inside and outside the car and has lots of other cool features.
  4. Incredible drop and ride. And of course, you also get great handling, a super-smooth ride and incredible levels of drop. The average Gold kit offers around five inches of drop, but this does differ from vehicle to vehicle.

Bike Week UK: Air for motorbikes

Air suspension is often associated with motorhomes and caravans, so we’re frequently asked if there’s any benefit to installing it to a much smaller vehicle such as a motorbike.

The answer is YES! – air ride is a great way to customise your bike, both in terms of style and practicality (in fact a lot of Harley-Davidson bikes – such as the Road King below – now have it as standard).

Other than the obvious – it just looks cooler – lowering your bike means handling and stability is naturally improved, meaning air suspension is ideal for negotiating those sharp corners and narrow gaps in the road.

But it also offers a better, smoother ride when the bike is raised, as you can alter the suspension to make it more suitable for the road conditions.

And, if you ever want to show off just how smooth that ride is to a mate (or future girlfriend/boyfriend – we hear nothing guarantees a date better than quality air suspension) then you can! Kits are available that prevent sag when you’re riding with a passenger and then readjust when you’re on your own again.

That adjustment can come at the touch of a button as well, so you can alter the ride height on the move.

Lastly, but most importantly, air suspension is safe too. When stationary you’ll be able to lower to a height where you can rest your feet flat on the ground. You can also customise your air suspension to mean the bike rests on the frame when not being used, meaning it doesn’t need a stand!

Please feel free to CALL or E-MAIL us if you’d like to discuss air suspension for your bike.
