Rear Shock Absorber

In today's hypersports, where performance on the race track is considered to be the top priority, the street, with its stop-and-go and low speed driving, and the winding road with its many small corners, may in a sense demand more stringent demands from suspension engineers than racing. In a sense, suspension engineers may be asked to meet more stringent demands than those of racing.

Ohlins has created the world's lowest friction for amazing beginning performance, allowing for reliable traction even under light loads.
The combination of the original design main piston and multi-stage stacked valves produces a precise damping force with a solid stroke feeling and a sticky bottom end.
In addition, the accumulation of a vast amount of setting data has made it available to spice up the damping taste suitable for the character of hypersports for hypersports and for tourers for tourers.
A wide range of adjustment functions and a variety of optional springs allow you to set the weight as you like.

"Changing to Ohlins", a dramatic change that will change even the familiar scenery, to your motorcycle life.

[Beauty, functional beauty, and a sense of ownership condensed into a compact unit]
The following features are based on Type S46PR1C2LS as an example.
The mechanism or design used differs depending on the product.

■Cylinder head
The cylinder head is specially designed for each model and is either machined or press forged in order to accommodate the limited space of the supersports engine.

■Big Bore Reservoir Tank
It has a capacity that is more than 20% higher than the previous version, Φ16 and is compatible with large diameter shafts, Φ49 large capacity reservoir tank.
It is effective in reducing the amount of free piston actuation, reducing the change in gas pressure against the stroke, and suppressing heat dripping.

■Aluminum cylinder with high rigidity, Spring
Feedback from race results.
We have reduced internal sliding friction to achieve "lighter weight" and "higher rigidity".
The springs in bright Ohlins yellow are made of carefully selected high-tensile materials.
Long life is guaranteed even in the toughest racing conditions.

■Super Finishing Rod
It is polished to the world's highest level of smoothness to protect against scratches and ensure a smooth stroke.

■Hydraulic preload adjuster
A remote adjuster on the end of the hose allows the spring pre-load to be adjusted by operating a remote dial.
By turning this remote dial, you can easily change the spring preload without using any special tools, for example, when you are riding pillion or loading the bike for a long tour.
