ÖHLINS SHOCKS: ENGINEERED TO ENHANCE EVERY RIDE

Shock absorbers play a pivotal role in both motorcycle stability and rider comfort, acting as a filter between the bike and the road surface. Here’s how:

STABILITY

DAMPING: Shocks control the movement of the motorcycle's suspension system by dampening the oscillations caused by bumps, uneven surfaces, or rider inputs. This damping action helps maintain stability by preventing excessive movements that could lead to loss of control.

TRACTION: By keeping the tires in closer contact with the road surface, shocks ensure optimal traction, allowing the motorcycle to grip the road more effectively, especially during cornering or acceleration.

HANDLING: Well-tuned shocks contribute to precise handling by minimizing pitch, roll, and dive, allowing the rider to maintain control over the motorcycle's trajectory, particularly in challenging riding conditions.

COMFORT

IMPACT ABSORPTION: Shocks absorb the impact of bumps, potholes, and other road irregularities, cushioning the rider from jolts and vibrations that would otherwise be transmitted to the body.

SMOOTHING ACTION: By smoothing out the ride, shocks enhance comfort, reducing rider fatigue and allowing for longer, more enjoyable journeys.

ADJUSTABILITY: Many modern shocks, including Öhlins shocks, offer adjustable features such as preload, compression, and rebound damping. These adjustment options allow riders to tailor the suspension setup to their preferences and riding conditions, further optimizing comfort and performance.

CORE TECHNOLOGIES FOR MOTORCYCLE SHOCK ABSORBERS

Öhlins shock absorbers stand at the forefront of suspension technology, boasting a range of innovative systems – STX, TTX, and SMART EC – each engineered to enhance control, handling, and ride quality.

TTX (TWIN-TUBE) TECHNOLOGY

TTX represents the pinnacle of damping technology, featuring a unique twin-tube design that separates the compression and rebound damping circuits. With TTX shock absorbers, riders have more precise control over damping forces, ensuring consistent performance under varying conditions. Our TTX system delivers unmatched responsiveness and stability, making it the preferred choice for professional riders and enthusiasts alike. Get a more in-depth look at TTX here. 

STX (SINGLE-TUBE) TECHNOLOGY

STX shock absorbers offer a more compact and lightweight package, without compromising performance. Using a single-tube design, STX shocks deliver exceptional damping characteristics, providing a balance of comfort and control across a variety of applications. Learn more about STX here. 

SMART EC (ELECTRONIC CONTROL)

Smart EC is our latest innovation for shock absorbers. This electronically controlled suspension system uses a system of sensors and complex algorithms to continuously monitor and adjust damping characteristics in real-time. By seamlessly integrating with the motorcycle's dynamics system, shock absorbers with Smart EC capabilities can instantly adapt to changing road and track conditions, optimizing both performance and comfort with unparalleled precision. 

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH YOUR MOTORCYCLE'S REAR SUSPENSION
