Ohlins TTX Shock Absorber - Ducati Superbike 1098 (2008)

ZOOM

Three decades of world championship roadracing and more than 100 World titles culminate in Öhlins TTX shocks. They feature high- and low-speed compression rebound damping; all settings are independent. This allows a huge range of adjustments with equal increments of force throughout the adjustment settings range. Even the shape of the damping curve can be changed to suit all types of tracks and conditions.

All preload and rebound adjustment changes affect the flow of damping oil from the piston, not the shock piston rod or oil displacement volume. Compression damping forces are unique - unlike a conventional shock, compression is not caused by a drop in pressure on the rebound side of the piston. Instead, it is caused by an increase in pressure on the compression side. This reduces cavitation and makes high gas pressure in the shock reservoir unnecessary, keeping internal pressures in the shock unit at a minimum. The low amount of internal pressure results in excellent suspension response even with a short stoke/high force acting on the shock.

Piggyback-type shock reservoir gives improved cooling to the shock oil for more consistent damping and long damper life. Integrated remote hydraulic spring preload adjuster. 36mm shock piston.
