XYZ Racing Gravel Rally Coilovers — Apollo APOLLO N 2016-2017

The Apollo N is a hand-built, mid-engined hypercar with carbon tub, pushrod-actuated dampers and a kerb weight that lives well under most of what it shares a grid with. Drop it on a gravel stage and the brief changes completely: you need wheel travel, controlled rebound over crests, and a damper that survives compression strikes without going off song two stages in.

The XYZ Racing Gravel Rally coilover for the 2016-2017 Apollo N is built for that brief – long-stroke, gravel-specific valving for a chassis that was never engineered around loose surfaces but is increasingly ending up on them in hillclimb, regularity and special-stage events.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2017 Apollo Apollo N

On gravel, a hypercar chassis only works if the dampers stop the body from running out of travel between yumps and braking zones. The XYZ Racing Gravel Rally setup gives the AP01 the stroke length and softer spring window it needs to keep all four contact patches loaded over broken surface, instead of skipping and washing wide. Multi-way adjustment lets you separate slow-speed body control from high-speed bump response, so you can soften the chassis for a rutted forest stage without losing platform stability under heavy braking. Pillowball top mounts hold geometry on full extension – critical when a car this light gets airborne. The result is a hypercar that finally tracks straight on a stage road instead of darting at every cambered ridge.

About the Gravel Rally coilover

The Gravel Rally series is XYZ Racing’s long-travel, stage-biased coilover, built around a larger-diameter monotube body and gravel-specific piston and shim stack. Damping is independently adjustable across compression and rebound, with the range biased towards softer settings than the tarmac kits to absorb stage hits. Spring rates are matched to the loose-surface use case rather than circuit work, and ride-height adjustment is handled at the lower mount so spring preload stays constant as you change ground clearance. The housings are protected against stone strike, and serviceability is part of the design – dampers are rebuildable, revalvable and re-sealable rather than sealed-for-life units. Construction throughout favours rally-grade durability over weight saving.

Fitment for the Apollo Apollo N (2016-2017)

This kit is fitted specifically to the Apollo N, chassis code AP01, for the 2016-2017 production window. Given the AP01’s bespoke suspension layout, this is a model-coded application rather than a generic platform fit – confirm chassis code at order to keep the build correct.
