What is the adjustable knob shown on the poster for the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra coilover dampers?

Official answer

Coilover dampers originate from racing technology and are dampers that allow adjustment of spring height, damper body, and damper damping. They can adjust the vehicle height via the threaded ring (the outer periphery of the ring is toothed), which is the origin of the term "coilover." Coilover dampers are commonly found in professional modified vehicles for track use, providing excellent support and stability for the vehicle. Due to their strong adjustability and reliability, they are recognized by various professionals, although they are also relatively expensive.

The knob shown on the poster is used to adjust the damping of the coilover damper. The optional Bilstein® EVO T1 coilover dampers for Xiaomi SU7 Ultra support 10-level adjustable compression and rebound damping. By rotating the knob on the damper, you can manually adjust the compression/rebound damping, allowing the vehicle to exhibit different dynamic performances to adapt to different drivers and track requirements, providing flexible adjustments combined with different track surfaces.
