A little confused by the data. Hertz is a measure of frequency, but to measure the vibration/impact forces into the trailer/tow vehicle via accelerometer shouldn't you be looking at amplitude such as the g's or measurement of actual force? Hertz could help understand the order at which the force or noise is amplified but I don't see it being the final measure of impact reduction? Also, I'm reading the majority of the data, which is related to trailer impact forces (not so much transfer to tow vehicle aka the GenY) to suggest that the trailer suspension and in this case the sumo springs, to have had the primary factor to reducing the trailer impact and wear(?) btw good job sourcing Link Engineering. We use them a lot for automotive DV evals. I'm all for a cushioned pin box, run a goosebox myself, just didn't really see data show that factors effect.
@GENYHITCH9 ай бұрын
Good comment and knowledge shared. Amplitude was also measured and it had a huge impact. While discussing with the engineers in order to create this video, the graph that showed amplitude was not explained as much, so it ended up not being included. But based on this comment it definitely would have cleared that up! All the suspension systems tested had a sizable effect on amplitude versus the control. This video was meant to be a way of sharing all the results in a way for everyone to understand, but we will look into if we have permission to release the whole report. However the actual wording in the conclusion of the report made by third party engineers is “The largest acceleration change is attributed to the GEN-Y pinbox regardless of EQ setup.”

My wife and I purchased a Z3610 from Brinkley a few months ago and moved to a Gen-Y Executive Gooseneck hitch before leaving the dealer and absolutely love it!! As of today we have a bit over 2,300 miles on it and just got back to Dallas from a Skiing trip in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Fortunately, the Gen-Y performed better than I did snowboarding. 🏂 😅 ouch!!

Is there a Gen-Y approved for Z3100? Are Sumo springs approved on it as well?
@GENYHITCH9 ай бұрын
GEN-Y EXECUTIVE comes standard on the Model G but can easily be added to any Brinkley models, including the Z3100. We have a great partnership with Brinkley. As for Sumo springs, Brinkley would be who to ask when wondering if other products are approved by them. Their models have some sort of suspension system, but I would reach out to them for each model's specifics

Looks like a fair bit of innovation. It’s nice to see young people today actually thinking outside the box to engineer new products. The hitch assembly appears to greatly improve ride quality and I imagine there are substantial safety improvements with such a stable hitch assembly. Have yall thought about designing ride handling/quality components for a class A coach ? Sway bars, leaf springs, helper springs, coil over assemblies ? Just curious , thank you for the time yall , be safe out there and happy motoring

Interesting results. The EZ Flex + Sumo Springs (Configuration F) seems to do as good and sometimes better than the GenY + Sumo Springs (configuration I). In fact, the EZ flex on its own (configuration E) compares remarkably close to the GenY + Sumo Springs (configuration I) considering the dramatic difference in cost between configurations I and E. I'm curious to know how the new Curt Helux pinbox would compare. Also equally interesting is the data indicating that an "Abrupt Shock" (rail road in the test) has a similar result for all configurations tested. Regardless, it's important to note that the test unit is still getting thrown and shaken around in the sample video clips even with the Brinkley preferred GenY + Sumo Springs (configuration I) setup. That leaf spring setup can only do so much dampening for the body of the camper itself. I wonder why one of these luxury brands haven't moved to a walking beam (+ independent/torsion) suspension. Some things just don't change, I suppose.

We currently don't have a copy of the test results available for everyone to view, however nearly every page of the report is used in the video.

Our GEN-Y pin box was tested against a standard factory pin box, not other competitor aftermarket pin boxes. Our pin box making a huge difference in the amount of vibration and frame chatter vs a normal pin box proves the usefulness of the product. The other products in the testing were various equalizers. The engineers at Brinkley did this testing to find out which equalizer setup would provide the best towing experience and keep their units on the road the longest. The GEN-Y EXECUTIVE performed VERY well, which is one reason why it comes standard on the Brinkley Model G.
