MECHATRONICS
Once in a while, Öhlins takes a giant technological leap. When the TTX shock absorber was
introduced early in the 21st century, it was a revolutionizing concept doing away with many of the
flaws in conventional technology and it pointed to a completely new direction of development in
the world of suspension.
Nowwe did it again, added a new chapter to the history of shock absorbers. Combining the racing
heritage with advanced electronic control, our range of mechatronic solutions offers complete
control over the damping characteristics. The word itself, mechatronics, is a portmanteau of
mechanics and electronics. And that’s what it is – mechanics and electronics in a prosperous
relationship and for us the pinnacle of advanced suspension technology.
Take control over your TTX. With the electronically controlled TTX EC technology, you can turn
your adjusters conveniently without letting go of the handlebar. Just thumb away on the control
panel and experience how the bike changes its behavior.
The best part? You don’t have to by a new shock absorber. The new TTX EC system can be
retrofitted onto all TTX street shock absorbers. Just remove the standard valves from a TTX shock
and insert the small stepper motor that handles the clicking for you. Then the settings can be
adjusted in fixed steps from a control panel, of even automatically via a continuous feed from an
SCU, Suspension Control Unit. TTX EC adds another dimension of control to your suspension.
