ÖHLINS RACING UNVEILS NEXT-GEN REAR SHOCK ABSORBER FOR ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLES

November 6, 2024
Öhlins Racing, one of the world’s most respected performance brands, has unveiled an innovative, next-generation twin-tube rear shock absorber for adventure motorcycles that provides significantly increased on-road comfort and off-road performance. The new Öhlins TTX AR-X 40 shock also is well suited to the higher loads and other operating demands of street and hyper naked bikes.


The TTX AR-X 40 features a 40mm (diameter) piston fitted with a high-speed blow-off valve that increases comfort and control over an impressively broad range of damping forces. The new shock is equipped with an integrated hydraulic preload adjuster that keep the preferred ride height at increased load and enables riders to increase preload at the damper by up to 20mm, adjusting seat height by as much as 50mm, depending on the application. The advanced preload adjuster includes an innovative modular interface that facilitates manual or electric adjustment. The TTX AR-X 40 is also compatible with Öhlins SmartEC semi-active suspension technology.

“Our new adventure shock is the result of Öhlins’ proprietary innovation process, which begins with extensive customer insight and requires continuous, stringent product testing and improvement until all of our objectives are met,” said Robert Brinkmark, Director Sales, Marketing and Product Management, Öhlins Racing. “We believe the TTX AR-X 40 is the finest rear shock now available for the adventure segment and an exciting new choice for street and hyper naked applications as well.”
