se però la morbidezza non si riferisse alla guida dell'escavatore, potresti dire semplicemente *uniti a una morbidezza setosa*

combine whisper quiet noise levels with the smoothness of silk
silenziosità discreta e (elegante) maneggevolezza


Explanation:
riflettendo sul contrasto

whisper quiet noise level vs power = silenzioso MA potente
smoothness of silk vs speed = agile/facile/senza difficoltà MA rapido

credo che la traduzione debba mantenere in qualche modo l'abbinamento degli opposti

as smooth as silk non tanto come sensazione tattile quanto come "senza intoppi"
