TwinShot damping unit

brief:

  • development of a damping system for forks using a single lever to switch from expanded to compressed to lockout mode
  • constantly performing damping system producing low heat even under extreme conditions
  • all controls to operate on-the-fly

challenge:

  • to be remote ready
  • to provide large cooling surface for the oil
  • creation of lasting compressed state
  • lower stanchion portion temperature to remain constant 

result:

  • consistent oil temperature by using the upper stanchion section as a radiator
  • as a consequence consistent operation even though using less oil
  • significant weight reduction 
  • only known system with permanently working rebound lockout
