shockless

Free from impact

Shockless means without shock or free from jarring impact.

The word appears in technical contexts describing equipment designed to absorb or eliminate vibration: shockless brakes, shockless suspension.

It can also describe experiences that lack surprise or emotional jolt: The news was shockless—we'd seen it coming for months.
