Under the banner of The Shyft Group, Spartan RV Chassis has unveiled its latest innovation – the K3 525 chassis.
Tailored exclusively for Newmar’s 2024 Mountain Aire Class A diesel luxury motorcoach, the K3 525 stands as a testament to the company’s commitment to quality, boasting a 525hp engine for improved acceleration, stability, and handling.
This remarkable performance is further boosted by the incorporation of Premier Drive, Spartan RV Chassis’ proprietary suspension system, according to a press release.
Moreover, Spartan RV Chassis has made a significant stride in customer service with the announcement of a comprehensive warranty program. This program applies to all eight Newmar models built on their chassis, including the Mountain Aire and the Dutch Star.
The newly introduced warranty, fully transferable and spanning 5 years or 100,000 miles, is complemented by an unprecedented 20-year, unlimited-mile warranty on frame rails and cross members. The package is rounded off with three years of complimentary roadside assistance, reflecting the company’s dedication to customer satisfaction.
“The debut of the K3 525 chassis, enhanced by our Premier Drive suspension system and backed by a robust warranty, embodies our relentless pursuit of innovation and unmatched customer support,” said Shyft Group President & CEO Daryl Adams.
“With nearly four decades of delivering exclusive engineering solutions to the luxury Class A diesel motorcoach industry, our commitment to providing the best experience for our owners and OEM partners remains steadfast.”
The K3 525 chassis is a marvel of engineering, featuring a 20,000 LB capacity Independent Front Suspension (IFS), custom-tuned shocks for effective bump absorption, and superior wheel cut for enhanced maneuverability.
It also comes equipped with Spartan’s Connected Coach experience, a collection of advanced interactive technologies designed to elevate driver comfort and confidence. The Connected Coach suite includes a Digital Dash, Tri-Pod Steering Wheel, and the Advanced Protection System, thus crafting an immersive, connected experience for motorcoach drivers.
