One might think that after more than 100 years of advances in automotive technology, every kind of suspension system would have already been invented. But the "VXI" by inventor Winthrop Dada is an entirely new kind of vehicle-suspension system. Dada says it eliminates most if not all of the problems inherent with prior suspension designs. Also important to the design are the "floating pivot points" which Dada says have never been used before. These pivot points attach either to the "wheel carriage" or the chassis at one end but are free to float up and down, allowing large amounts of wheel travel in a compact arrangement. In addition, because where the pivot points attach to the chassis are wide apart and high up, Dada says the VXI is more stable than other suspensions -- kind of like the greater stability of a wide-beam lifeboat as compared to a canoe.
