Shade Innovations (SI) has announced performance upgrades to its flagship KAOS (Kick Ass Outdoor Shades) platform. The enhancements include SI’s new high-power, quiet outdoor motor, a weather-resistant IP5 remote, and the introduction of the Onyx Glide Rail System.
At the core of the upgrade is SI’s new 50 Nm Smart Quiet Motor, delivering significantly increased torque for greater turning power under demanding outdoor conditions, while operating smoother and quieter than any motor in its class. Designed specifically for outdoor applications, the motor features adjustable obstacle detection for enhanced safety and long-term system protection.
Complementing the new motor is the Onyx Glide Rail System, a fully re-engineered rail platform purpose-matched to KAOS. Onyx is built from a proprietary, self-lubricating material infused with UV-hardening pigments. After years of real-world testing in harsh environments — including heat, UV, wind, salt air, and moisture — Onyx has proven to be stronger, quieter, and more durable than ever before
Rounding out the upgrade is a new IP5-rated weather-resistant remote, designed for reliable outdoor control and seamless user interaction, even in challenging conditions.
