Having started life as motocross suspension specialists, Öhlins Racing AB celebrates its 40th anniversary with a radical new rear shock, the TTX Flow. Extensively developed and tested for two years, TTX Flow offers unrivalled bike stability and traction within a full redesign, which has also been created to be extremely easy to maintain and set-up.

The shock features new patent pending pressure technology combined with an all new ‘spool’ check-valve system which essentially helps the shock cope with multiple forces at once and ‘forget’ them extremely quickly, retaining chassis balance. In rider feedback this equates to vastly improved handling in whoops, braking bumps (so the rear wheel doesn’t go light) and absorbing harsh hits where the bike needs to remain settled for a large jump. Bottoming resistance is also improved through the introduction of a new bump rubber cup unit.

The TTX flow has also been fully redesigned through every single component to make it much more rider and mechanic friendly, for both maintenance and set-up. The spring is now extremely easy to change due to a new spring clip design and the simple spring pre-load adjustment is more robust. Adjustments can easily be made to compression and rebound with a new indicator to show positioning.

The system retains the Öhlins patented TTX (Twin Tube) Technology with a 46mm piston and 16mm piston rod. There are a wide range of springs to suit rider weight and riding style. Available for all main adult MX and Enduro models.
