UTV Suspension Testing

Side-by-Side UTV Suspension Design and Tuning Isn’t Easy

Designing side-by-side UTV’s is no walk in the park; with the constant demand for high performance durability and a comfortable ride, suspension design and tuning is central to any successful design. When performing UTV suspension tuning many similar challenges present themselves.

UTV Suspension in action! Bump steer, ground clearance, suspension travel, ride quality, and countless other factors all play a role as you work to trailblaze your own path to a superior side-by-side UTV suspension system.

We’re Ready to Join You on the Trail

At Morse Measurements, we provide suspension testing and support that you can count on, and it’s all completely confidential because we operate with no ties to vehicle manufacturers or race teams. With our multi-million dollar kinematics and compliance (K&C) testing rig we are able to subject a vehicle to realistic cornering, braking, and tractive loads at the tire contacts while measuring over 300 channels of highly accurate suspension measurements. Tell us what you need to know about your UTV’s suspension and we will work with you to design the test sequence you need to get answers. Let us help you get your job done, so that your customers can get theirs done. Contact us now for more information.

We Understand the Unique Challenges of UTV Suspension Testing

We have worked with numerous clients to test their side-by-side UTVs: from established manufacturers to innovative startups. Because of our commitment to customer confidentiality we won’t share their names, but a few of our other clients have shared their experience with us.

Over the years, Multimatic has K&C-tested everything from top-level GT and Prototype-class race cars, to prototype and production road cars at Morse Measurements. We appreciate their confidential and professional service and accurate data, which helps our engineers to understand exactly how the vehicle suspension reacts to real-world loading. K&C testing with Morse Measurements has proven invaluable in our development of superior road cars, suspension components, and championship winning race cars.

Hao Wang

Assistant General Manager, Multimatic Inc.

I have been to Morse Measurements many times with everything from Prototypes to Production cars and I always leave with a great understanding of how my car operates on the track. No other company can provide me the detailed understanding of the dynamics of the suspension and compliance of the components like Morse Measurements can with their K&C rig.

When I go to Morse Measurements, I leave with information I can use at the track the next day. I don’t have to spend days analyzing the data and trying to figure out what it all means. I know where the roll centers are and how they move when the forces are applied in a corner. I know what my anti roll bar rates are at the wheel in the real world, not some calculated “perfect world” answer. I know if I have a suspension component or chassis bracket flexing too much. I have tire spring rates at various pressures in my hand. I know where the tires are really pointed in the center of a turn when all the loads are on the car, not where the geometry software says they “should” be pointed. These are just some of the things I have when I leave Morse Measurements. With this knowledge in hand, I know what areas I need to improve on the car. If it’s a spec car where the rules limit changes to the car, I can make set up changes to compensate for the problem areas.

Jeff Braun

Owner, Transact Race Engineering Inc.

With the help of the very professional and competent team at Morse Measurement we got a fast and efficient evaluation of how our prototype performs versus our predictions, and a large step closer to reaching our development targets.
