Ohlins EC-type Shock Absorber for ZX10R 11-12

* The culmination of three decades of world championship roadracing and more than 100 World titles.
* Features high- and low-speed compression and 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 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.
