The Glyder (Torsion-Flex) Ball Mount is a lightweight product that offers several benefits to its users. What really sets this product apart is its use of GEN Y’s patented TORSION-FLEX technology. This technology allows the truck and trailer to glide down the road eliminating the jarring and shock transfer of a standard 2” ball mount.

The Glyder helps provide one of the smoothest and safest towing experiences available. Whether you’re towing lightweight campers or caravans, teardrop trailers, small landscape trailers, or even boats, this hitch will get you where you need to go while keeping you and your cargo safe and sound!

Torsion hitches require some initial towing for a few hundred kilometres with a load to properly adjust the torsion rubbers for their intended flexibility. During assembly, we freeze the torsion rubbers to fit them into the housing. This initial towing period helps them settle in and start functioning as expected.

Locating pin holes may have a 5mm positioning tolerance. All hitches may not be exact in measurements.

What is Torsion Flex Technology?

Torsion-Flex technology is our patented design that helps improve hitch function and advantage. Its unique assembly leads to its effectiveness on the road. Once your trailer is hooked up, your tongue weight is applied, and you’re going down the road, it’s time for this hitch to shine.

In motion, the arms of the hitch will move up and down with the bumps in the road to decrease inertia between your truck and what you’re towing. An added benefit to the Torsion-Flex hitches is the built-in tongue weight scales.

Increased Cargo Protection
Since our Torsion-Flex technology moves up and down with the trailer as it goes over potholes and other road hazards, it reduces the inertia you feel between the truck and trailer while driving. This keeps your cargo from getting bumped and jostled around in transit. You can enjoy a smoother ride with the peace of mind that whatever you’re towing will arrive in one piece.

Increased Fuel Economy
This patented technology reduces inertia by up to 90%. This decrease in drag improves gas mileage. Some customers have reported saving up to 3 miles per gallon. Over time, this really adds up making it that much more clear how the Torsion-Flex technology is in a league of its own.

Reduced tire wear on truck and trailer
Due to the smoother ride and decreased inertia, tires on your truck and trailer will last longer. Anyone who spends time on the road knows that replacing tires can be expensive. Worn-out tires can be incredibly dangerous. With our technology, you can know that your tires are in good shape and not wearing out anytime soon.
