Shocktech Suspension Stage 3

The brand new TTX Flow allows you to ride fast and safely with improved traction, stability and grip. Developed for racers, this shock is also recommended for those who want to ride on the golden Öhlins suspension and really feel the difference. The TTX Flow calms down the chassis to keep you focused on setting fast lap times and win races. TTX Flow Technology We started with a clean sheet of paper in designing this new ground breaking shock absorber. With our TTX Technology and patent pending internal pressure regulation, this new shock is a huge step forward compared to previous models. We retained our TTX (Twin Tube) Technology but worked extensively on a new ‘check-valve’ system to balance wide valve openings and quick open/close actions to handle a large volume of oil flow. The new system cancels out the smaller hits and keeps the chassis stable for the big jump. The test riders found that this was one major improvement, as was the stability of the bike over ‘braking bumps’ which absorbs the harsh hits and does not make the rear wheel go light. TTX Flow Benefits You will feel that the response is quicker, more consistent and more predictable than ever before, allowing the TTX Flow to deliver a smoother roll on bumpy terrain which calms down the chassis for corner entry and eases the bikes handling through turns. It’s almost like the shock absorber is communicating while you’re racing, sensing your next move! Without any trade-offs, the TTX Flow excels in all areas compared to previous models. The TTX Flow gives the bike improved traction, comfort and predictability which enhance the stability of the bike. It’s also easy to adjust to find the perfect setting for the track and riding style. The result is clearly felt by the rider when cutting seconds from previous lap times and still riding in the safest way possible. If you want to keep your front fork legs but still upgrade to Öhlins TTX, just pull out the standard inserts and pop in this powerful TTX22 cartridge kit from Öhlins R&D. The same kit that is fitted in the Öhlins Front Fork is based on the Öhlins TTX-technology is also available as a stand-alone cartridge kit for all major models. The TTX technology brings a positive pressure balance in the system, thanks to the twin tube technology. The gas pressurized dividing piston inside pushes the hydraulic fluid back into the low pressure side and the end result is better improved performance and no more cavitation. The kit is lighter thanks to an 8 mm steel hollow shaft and the main piston diameter is 22 mm. All other details are made in aluminum. Settings are constantly improved and a new one-way rebound valve was recently introduced which improves the performance and gives better front wheel control. Available for most major models on the market.
