85cc MX Cartridge Kit                                                                    

Öhlins proudly presents the newest member of the MX cartridge family… the 85cc Cartridge Kit. Rear shocks have been around for a while now but the new junior Cartridge Kit completes the front end product strategy for the MX segment. The Kit is based on the design and experience gained from the powerful and popular Cartridge Kit for the bigger MX bikes but it does not hold a TTX design as the outer tubes are smaller but it features the well proven hydraulic stop design for bottoming resistance. Despite that fact the new 85cc Cartridge Kit is pressurized which means that the damping response is much quicker and the dynamic behaviour is superior to standard, nonpressurized systems on the market
This Kit is the perfect product for all talented, young riders that want to make a serious attempt to climb up on the result boards in national elite classes. Concerning installation and service the new Kit is a real treat for the average, handy mechanic. The principal is just the same as the big brother in the Cartridge Kit family… just pull out the original inserts and pop in the new Kit. If you can change springs on your bike you can for sure install the new kit as well.

FEATURES:
Pressurized Damping System
Compression & Rebound Adjusters
Wide range of spring rates (due to big differences in rider weight)
22mm main piston
8 mm piston rod
Easy to install and service
Also fits the Honda CRF 150cc

MX Steering Damper 2.1

It has been on the market since 1992 and was praised from the very start. The evolution of technological solutions has been added to the design throughout the years but now it is time to launch a whole new concept…

The new silhouette is a result of a much easier way of mounting the damper under the handlebar. The new steering damper is now equipped with a completely new valving system, eliminating any fluctuation of the damping characteristics depending on making a left or a right turn. The new UniFlow feature is actually a system that controls the flow of the hydraulic fluid into only one direction hence the new fluctuation free damping curve. The system is also pressurized to compensate any temperature changes.

The steering damper is available for Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha. The new easy way of mounting the damper broadens the list of MX bikes that can be fitted with this new model. 

FEATURES:
Damping Level Adjuster (DL) – Controls the general setup, including a high speed valve.
Return To Centre Adjuster (RTC) – Variable setup of the damping force on the return.
All aluminium casing.
Mounting Kit included.

TTX44

The TTX44 is built especially for championship riders but serious private riders can of course lay their hands on this masterpiece from the R&D department at Öhlins through the Öhlins distributor network.

Motocross is the ultimate test for the R&D department with the roughest and toughest conditions. To achieve the very best performance of this new shock absorber, one more thrilling feature has been added…

The CSC (Chassis Stability Control) technology
The CSC function enables the rider to set up the bike for different track conditions. The chassis is tuned with the low speed movements which are controlled via the CSC valve.

NOTE! The CSC function is not to be mixed up with the rebound and compression adjusters that determine the exact feature of the damper depending on weight, comfort and riding technique.

FEATURES:
- New valves for more consistent and improved dynamic behaviour.
- New main piston for improved performance.
- New adjusters for easier adjustments.
- Compression and Rebound damping adjusters.
- CSC Technology.
- Twin tube design.
- 16mm shaft.
- Optional titanium lightweight spring.

Cartridge Kit 2010 MX

Never mind the outside… it’s the inside that counts. Engineers at Öhlins HQ put all their attention on making a universal kit with the powerful TTX technology to give all MX junkies out there a price competitive masterpiece with tons of performance and handling.  

The thing is that you can keep your standard Front Fork legs, just pull out the standard inserts and pop in the new kit. The completely new MX Front Fork Cartridge kit is based on TTX technology which means a positive pressure balance in the system, thanks to the twin tube technology. The gas pressurized dividing piston inside does an excellent job pushing the hydraulic fluid back into the low pressure side and the end result is better performance and no more cavitation.

The 8 mm steel hollow piston rod makes the kit somewhat lighter and the main piston diameter will be 22 mm. All other details will be in aluminium and the only inconsistency will be the length of the kit depending on the model of the bike. For 2010, the cartridge kit features a new one-way rebound valve to completely separate the compression and rebound damping, for improved performance and better wheel control.  

FEATURES:
Unique cartridge kit with TTX design.
Gas pressurized damping system for immediate damping response.
Easy installation in OE front forks.
Compression damping. Rebound damping.
Improved hydraulic stops to improve bottoming resistance.
Springs are ordered separately to suit rider’s choice of rate.
New top-out rubber for smoother top-out feeling.

Fluids

The evolution of lubrication fluids is a never ending story and Öhlins Racing AB is committed to offer the latest technology to all our customers. This autumn we will launch a completely new shock absorber fluid with very high durability in both hot and cold conditions, and viscosity as low as 11cSt at 40o Celsius.
The fluid has a very high viscosity index and it will be a trusty friend in your shock for a long time thanks to an increase in the wear out performance. You will also have less fading in your shock due to the new recipe.

NEW RANGE FRONT FORK FLUID
Together with the new shock absorber fluid Öhlins is just about to introduce a powerful, new range of front fork fluid that will give you the best possible performance when riding on your bike. This new front fork fluid has a viscosity index that is almost three times wider than its predecessors, and it is designed to lower the friction in your front fork.

The engineers at STATOIL have found a way to cut friction with more than 30%! Quick air release and high resistance against foaming is another two strong ingredients and combined with long life time this new front fork fluid is the perfect match for your front fork.
