CTI Trailer

[ Patent Number: US 10,539,484 ]

Corner Travel Index or CTI measures a vehicle's maximum axle/wheel articulation at the four corners of the vehicle, often referred to as "flex". The CTI is used in the off-roading industry to quantify the axle/wheel articulation in order to compare the performance potential of a wide variety of vehicles and vehicle builds. CTI totals the articulated wheel travel of each individual tire on the vehicle.
