Development
and Manufacturing All BP-51 shock absorbers are manufactured in-house
by ARB. In order to achieve this, significant investment has been made
in state of the art machining and hard anodising equipment, allowing ARB
total control over the manufacturing process to ensure the highest
possible quality.
BP-51
shock absorber bodies are manufactured using aircraft grade (6061 T6)
anodised aluminium to dissipate heat more efficiently than steel or
alloy steel and provide superior corrosion resistance.
Extensive
lab, real world and destructive testing has been undertaken during the
development process to ensure that reliability, longevity and
performance all meet ARB’s impeccable standards.
Bypass
Technology In addition to the velocity sensitive damping used in most
shock absorbers (where the faster the piston moves, the higher the level
of damping is generated), BP-51 shock absorbers also generate damping
dependent on the position of the piston within the shock absorber’s body
via their bypass design.
Typical shock absorbers are only able
to provide damping based on fluid transfer through the piston. BP-51’s
unique bypass design offers the best of both worlds, allowing the high
performance oil to pass directly through the piston while also being
channelled around this assembly via the bypass passages.
The
result is a shock absorber which can adapt to any terrain, providing
increased ride control at the upper and lower travel limits.

With
greater levels of damping generated at each end of the stroke, the
piston slows as it approaches full compression and extension, preventing
harsh topping out and allowing larger bumps and corrugations to be
absorbed more easily. Sahara 4x4
This results in an ability for
the shock absorber to provide the best of both worlds, with a
comfortable and compliant ride during normal driving and a more
controlled ride over challenging terrain.
