Instead of relying on fixed shock tuning, this adaptive system uses a proprietary control algorithm engineered specifically around the TRX chassis, suspension geometry, and weight distribution. It continuously monitors vehicle behavior in real time, including speed, throttle input, braking force, steering angle, ride height, and body motion. The result is a suspension system that reacts instantly and intelligently before the terrain or driver demands even fully develop.
Heat is one of the biggest enemies of suspension performance, especially in high speed off road driving. Bilstein combats this with directionally machined cooling fins around the shock body, maximizing airflow and heat dissipation. The shock bodies are precision machined from single piece aluminum, improving strength, eliminating weak joints, and increasing corrosion resistance. Military grade anodizing ensures long term durability even in harsh climates and rugged environments.
The Bilstein® BlackHawk® e2 adaptive shock system is not just another premium feature. It is a complete rethinking of what modern truck suspension can be. By blending motorsports grade hardware with intelligent real time software, Bilstein and Ram have created a suspension platform that delivers comfort, control, durability, and brutal off road performance all in one package. For the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX, the BlackHawk e2 is not an accessory. It is the foundation that makes this truck one of the most capable performance pickups ever built.
