The STX-series are a high-pressure monotube type shock absorber. The fluid is under gas pressure and is kept separated by a dividing piston. The pressurisation prevents cavitation of the oil, and the shock absorbing action is, therefore, more even. Öhlins shock absorbers with external rebound adjustment have integrated temperature compensation. The shock absorbing effect is consequently independent of the temperature. The more advanced models permit individual adjustment of compression and rebound damping. Öhlins shock absorbers provide the possibility of adjustment, making them adaptable to most vehicles, drivers and ranges of use. All of the shock absorbers with springs have adjustable preload of the spring action. The Öhlins STX shock absorbers are racer friendly shock absorbers, easy to set up,dial in and rebuild. Support is always available from the Öhlins distributors worldwide.
