Huge increase in underbody clearance for Suzuki Jimny.

Is your Suzuki Jimny struggling off-road? Probably not, but to be sure, there is an impressive new mechanical upgrade for the Suzuki 4×4.

The Jimny has a deserved reputation for all-terrain conquering ability. Despite its size, it has all the core design elements that make for a very successful off-road vehicle.

It has a ladder frame platform, solid axlesand a low-range transfer case, to crawl up steep inclines, at slow speedwith maximum engine torque.

With its short wheelbase and small overall size, the Jimny has beneficial off-road driving geometry. And it’s not short on ground clearance, either, at 210 mm.

But for German aftermarket specialist, Delta4x4, there was the promise of more. A lot more.

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog and Gelandenwagenhavelong proven the worth of portal axles. And these designsinfluencethe way that German engineers and off-road drivers view their vehicles.

You can radically increase ground clearance with a portal axle by not driving the wheels, directly into their hubs. This allows the half-shafts to be move much higher, dramatically improving ground clearance.

Delta4x4 has developed a new portal axle solution for Suzuki’s latest Jimny. Meticulously engineered to typical German standards, it nearlydoubles the Japanese 4×4’s ground clearance.

Beyond the impressive stance, with a Delta4x4 portal axle Jimny, you have an impressive 400 mm of ground clearance.

There are improved dampers to balance the increase in ride height, preventing nasuating levels of lean, pitch, and bodyroll.

With 400 mm of ground clearance and no increase to its overall length or width, there is no question that a portal axle equipped Jimny is more off-road capable than anything else you could imagine.
