The Öhlins shim system offers infi nite
combinations of shim stacks with a wide
spectrum of different character with one
and the same piston. The whole system
is pressurized by nitrogen gas behind a
fl oating piston to ensure separation of the
gas and fl uid.
The Öhlins TPX/TTX44 shock
absorbers are a racer friendly shock
absorber, easy to set up, dial in and
rebuild. Support is always available from
the Öhlins distributors worldwide.
Congratulations on choosing the
Öhlins TPX/TTX Rally shock absorber
- the most unique and powerful racing
shock absorber available today.
The
TPX 44 is of a McPherson type and
TTX 44 is of a twin tube type shock
absorber. Both are 3 way adjusted.
High and low speed compression with
Rebound adjusters. Both are available
with the new updated Progressive
Damping System (PDS). The TPX/
TTX44 shock absorber design is the
culmination of two decades of Öhlins
successful participation in World
Championship events.
This shock absorber draws on all the
expertise developed by Öhlins while
winning more than a hundred World
Championships.
The TPX/TTX44 shock absorbers
are designed to handle the demanding
damping characteristics needed for all
types of tracks, from hard packed soil to
soft sand tracks.
The Öhlins TPX /TTX 44 features
patented. Pending concept with a unique
design that allows for the gas pressure
to always back-up the low-pressure
side of the piston to keep pressure at
a controlled level. Both concepts give
the possibility to have totally separated
adjusters for compression and rebound
damping.
The temperature stability is maintained
by using a fl ow restriction design in
the bleed valves that create a turbulent
fl ow at very low piston velocities. Also,
materials with different thermal expansion
rates are used to compensate for the
viscosity change of the fl uid caused by
changes in temperature.
