With the Rivian R2 scheduled to hit the market next year, Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe teases the R2's rear suspension claiming he 'Can’t wait for folks to get to drive R2 — it’s sooo good!!'
The rear suspension tease is paired with this explanation:
The R2 multi-link rear suspension includes 5 stamped steel links and uses an isolated rear subframe to deliver incredible ride quality and handling, while achieving our optimized cost structure. Our “starfish” forged aluminum rear knuckle integrates bushings for each of the 5 rear suspension links to reduce unsprung mass to support enhanced ride quality.
