BILSTEIN is thrilled to announce its participation in the King of the Hammers (KOH), taking place next month in Johnson Valley, CA. As one of the most challenging and revered off-road events in the world, KOH serves as the ultimate proving ground for our cutting-edge suspension technology.

This year, we are proud to support an incredible lineup of elite racers who thrive in the grit and chaos of KOH. Fans can look forward to seeing these drivers and their teams in action:

Doug Mittag – Desert UTV
Kaden Wells – Desert UTV
Nathan Ellis – Desert Truck
Cole Clark – 4400 and KOH UTV
Jeremy Brown – 4400
Peter Doolan – 4500 EMC
Adam Fitza – 4500 EMC and 4800
Brian Deegan – KOH UTV

These talented drivers will be putting some of BILSTEIN’s most advanced suspension systems to the test, including the all-new Black Hawk Powersports, BILSTEIN M 9200, BILSTEIN B8 8125, and BILSTEIN M 7100 shocks.

Black Hawk Powersports: Revolutionary Suspension Technology
The Black Hawk Powersports shock introduces revolutionary technology designed specifically for high-performance UTV applications. Its advanced Zone Control CR system, featuring multiple compression and rebound zones, ensures unparalleled damping precision for every terrain. Internal hydraulic systems, including a 2-stage bump stop (JCO) and an internal rebound limiter (RCO), work together to deliver a smooth and controlled ride even in extreme conditions.

With 4-way adjustable damping—allowing fine-tuning for high- and low-speed compression, rebound, and the hydraulic bump stop—the Black Hawk Powersports shock offers unmatched versatility for drivers to adapt to any challenge. Built from durable aluminum with a finned reservoir for improved cooling, it ensures reliability and performance when it matters most. Additional features, such as dual-rate springs, adjustable ride height, and a direct-fit motorsports package for vehicles like the Can-Am X3 and Polaris RZR Pro R, make it a standout choice for off-road enthusiasts.
