Öhlins Shock Technology
The gravity world is at the forefront of mountain bike technology, as it puts unbelievable stress on equipment. So when we aimed to push the envelope of suspension technology in 2012, starting with downhill was the logical choice, and no suspension partner was better suited for the task at hand than Öhlins. The collective goal was simple: engineer a shock that delivers the control, performance, and adjustability that downhill riders demand. And what we came up with was the groundbreaking twin-tube design of the Öhlins TTX. And now, our collaboration has pushed the limits once again with the Öhlins single-tube air shocks (STX), drop-in cartridges, the Demo TTX shock absorber, and RXF-160 fork.
You might be asking yourself, who is Öhlins? Well, they're a Swedish suspension company that's been at the pinnacle of world-class suspension since its inception in 1976, winning its first motorsports world title just two years later. Öhlins development partners include Lotus, Ducati, and Lamborghini, and its captured championships in everything from Moto GP to Le Mans off-road.
