Kyle LeDuc Is King

August 7, 2015 – Garden Grove, CA – When it comes to consecutive wins in Pro-4, King Shocks racer Kyle LeDuc is king. He has set a very high bar in Off-Road short course racing and it doesn’t look like he’s done. Last season he set a record with 12 single season wins in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series on his way to the Pro-4 title. In 2015, he finished 5th in round one and then went on a merciless streak winning 10 straight races, another record.

2015 LOORRS Round 11 & 12

His record setting 10th consecutive win was no picnic. It came South Of The Border at the Baja International Short Course track in Estero Beach. He was the fastest qualifier but he drew a 6-truck inversion putting him back in row 3. The Estero Beach track was sandy, causing deep holes and tons of roost. Starting in the back was perilous. Kyle picked his way to the front and then put a gap back to second place. It was another decisive win For Kyle and King Shocks.

2015 LOORRS Round 11 & 12

“Our set-up was dialed in for the Estero race,” said Kyle, “We normally don’t change much but we made adjustments all weekend at Estero Beach. We set it up very loose but without sacrificing traction. We had a lot of control that allowed us to fly past the competition on the big table top jumps. We had a prime set-up; we really nailed it. We were victorious, stretching our points lead towards another Pro-4 championship.”

2015 LOORRS Round 11 & 12

Throughout Kyle’s career, he has relied on the unequaled performance and precision tuning provided by his King Shocks. The last two seasons he has flat out dominated in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series’ premiere class, Pro-4. He has taken on the toughest track conditions and came out shining every time. Regardless if you are racing on the toughest tracks on the planet or just having fun, whatever your application; King Shocks has the shock for you with the same adjustability, performance and reliability that keeps Kyle LeDuc in front of the competition.

2015 LOORRS Round 11 & 12

The advantage of running King Shocks has been clearly demonstrated in the LOORS series. “King Shocks congratulates Kyle LeDuc on his record setting 10th consecutive Pro 4 win,” said Ramses Perez, director of marketing, King Shock Technology Inc. “Kyle has been the fastest and most consistent athlete in Off-Road Racing, I am thrill to continue to say King Shocks is the shock choice of record setting Off-Road champions.”

ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2015-UP Ford F-150 2WD 0-3″ Suspension Systems
The “more powerful, capable & advanced” 2015 Ford F-150 is a great pickup truck with a long heritage of being one of the toughest vehicles on the road. With several changes making their way into production for 2015 including an all new aluminum body, ICON was anxious to get this truck into R&D to see what improvements could be made to the stock suspension.

ICON engineers performed an in-depth analysis of the new truck in stock form with a primary goal of identifying any limiting factors and weak points in OE components. Once this process was complete focus shifted to CAD development, in-house dyno testing, and real world ride tuning in an effort to address these issues while increasing wheel travel and overall shock damping ability. With the redesigned aluminum body featured on the 2015 F-150, ICON engineers spent a significant amount of time developing a new shock valving that addressed the “slimmer” truck’s ride characteristics. This research and development process yielded a collection of products including coilovers, rear shocks, and tubular steel upper control arms that have been organized into several staged systems that offer unique levels of performance for the new Ford.

ICON’s 2015 F-150 suspension systems increase wheel travel by 12.5% over stock while drastically improving on and off-road ride quality. A remarkable level of performance is established with the Stage 1 system, which includes vehicle-specific tuned 2.5 Series coilover shocks and ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series monotube rear shocks that are both 100% rebuildable and revalvable. As the stages increase, the ability of the vehicle to handle exceptionally well in harsh off-road conditions is also increased with the addition of remote reservoir coilovers, 2.5 Series rear shocks, uniball upper control arms, and CDCV (Compression Damping Control Valve) technology. An adjustable coilover design offers up to 3” of lift height, allowing for the fitment of larger, more aggressive wheel and tire combinations. A 100% bolt-on design makes for a simplified and straightforward install while allowing for the ability for the vehicle to be returned to stock form if need be.

ICON products are all proudly made in the USA at our Southern California-based facility by a dedicated team of off-road enthusiasts. With our reputation for quality, performance, and service, it’s clear that ICON Vehicle Dynamics is the top choice for performance suspension systems and shock absorbers for 2015 Ford F-150 2WD pickups.
