Metalcloak is
first to Introduce Kevlar to the Jeep
Suspension Market
Rancho Cordova, CA – Metalcloak today made public a project layered under blankets of secrecy; a project that started with the simple question “could we?” over 18 months ago; a project that could, once again, be a “game-changer” for the growing company.
As part of a video series
called the “Metalcloak Minute”, the face of Metalcloak, Matson Breakey,
announced that since May of 2018, Metalcloak has been “quietly introducing a
new Duroflex Joint. Changing over inventory as stock permitted.”
According to the
announcement, the new Duroflex Bushings feature “our iconic M embossed on the
side... and… it is made with Dupont Kevlar Fiber. Yes. Kevlar.”
The Duroflex Bushing was
originally introduced in 2011 to a world of skeptics who were used to the more
traditional and vulnerable flex joints for use in their suspension systems.
Since then the Duroflex Joints have become “synonymous with great off road
performance and awesome daily driver ride quality – all while maintaining
industry leading durability,” according to Matson.
Metalcloak has been known
to be a company of firsts… from the first removeable production tube fender, to
the first production full replacement fender, to the long travel compact shock,
to the first vibration dampening high misalignment bushing… and now the first
company introduce Kevlar into the Jeep Suspension system.
Metalcloak claims the
addition of Kevlar into the Proprietary Vulcanized Rubber Compound that makes
up the Duroflex Bushing is all part of continuing to lead the industry in function
and durability for years to come.
“Afterall, Dupont's
tagline for Kevlar is Dare Bigger, I think that says it
all,” concludes Matson.
