MagneRide is BWI Group's proprietary name for its magneto rheological suspension system[1]. Delphi sold its Brakes and Suspension business to Beijing West Industries Group of China (BWI), Inc. in 2009.

Applications

It was first used by General Motors in the Cadillac Seville STS (2002) and later in Chevrolet Corvette C5, and is now used as a standard suspension or an option in many models from Cadillac, some models from Buick and Chevrolet, and other GM vehicles as well as some non-US vehicles such as Holden Special Vehicles, Ferrari 599, Ferrari California, Audi TT, Audi R8, and Acura MDX. It uses Magnetorheological fluid to adjust the damping rate of the shock absorbers based on road conditions and vehicle dynamics.
