Description

Top end of shell pipe is drawn, oil & gas are injected then the opening is completely sealed by crimping process. This “Sealed Structure” process also reduces the production time, compared to the production of existing disassembable dampers.

In addition, pursuit of efficient production system, such as use of seam welding, allows us to drastically reduce the production cost.

*Twin-Tube System for Comfortable Ride on Streets!*
Considering the use of larger tires/wheels and the lowered ride height, FLEX Z uses twin-tube system, in pursuit of ride comfort on streets.

In order to maintain the ride quality on streets with rough spots here and there, a shock absorber has to have sufficient stroke, be low-frictional and move smoothly.

As an oil chamber and a gas chamber are not arranged serially in a twin-tube system, it is easy to secure enough stroke. Also, low gas pressure keeps friction low.

Its smooth stroke movement makes it possible to follow rough and bumpy road surfaces quite well, offering supple ride at low speed and stable ride at high speed.
