The 2024 Mahindra Thar ROXX from Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd. is the first new passenger vehicle to feature Monroe OE Solutions passive dampers fitted with Tenneco’s Monroe Ride Refine™ Advanced Hydraulic Rebound Stop (AHRS), which minimizes suspension rebound topping energy and noise during offroad driving and in other extreme environments.

AHRS Technology featured on Mahindra Thar ROXX
The new Thar ROXX, unveiled in Kochi on 15th August 2024, offers an unmatched blend of sophistication, performance, presence, safety, and technology. Positioned as “‘THE’ SUV,” the five-door model is a fully capable on- and off-road SUV that comfortably seats five. With its All-New M_GLYDE Platform, it is engineered for a smooth ride and precise handling, ensuring class-leading dynamics on and off the road. To ensure exceptional ride and handling performance in all driving conditions, Mahindra and Mahindra selected Monroe OE Solutions double-tube dampers featuring the next-generation Ride Refine AHRS, a highly tunable secondary valve that works in concert with each damper’s main valve to absorb peak loads during high-energy bumps and when encountering deep potholes. This unique capability ensures optimal energy absorption to decrease body control without compromising passenger comfort.
