It is not the same to take a walk around the city at the weekend than to take a multi-day route through Morocco at a good pace.

For the user who travels to Morocco, the ideal would be to mount a separate bottle shock, either the Dakar or the Dakar Extreme.

The Dakar is the minimum to ride if we travel to Africa. The improvement in performance compared to a twin tube is very large and not comparable to the difference in price. It is also repairable and offers us the possibility of giving it a totally customized setting. This damper is NOT adjustable.

These shock absorbers have a second body connected to the main one, either by a fitting or by a hose.

The function of this bottle is twofold: on the one hand, to increase the oil capacity, which allows to reduce the operating temperature and therefore avoid drops in performance. We also increase the contact surface with the air, which also favors cooling; on the other, half of this bottle is occupied by a nitrogen chamber, separated from the oil by a floating piston. This nitrogen chamber gives a progressive behavior to the shock absorber, as it is compressed as the stem is compressed, with the particularity that the higher the compression, the greater the force necessary to compress the gas.

Great improvement in performance compared to a twin tube.

It is also repairable.

It is a shock absorber that can be disassembled. This allows us to replace any part that has been damaged or has suffered wear and tear. In addition, by having access to the interior of the shock absorber, we can modify its setting by changing the configuration of the internal blades.

Yes. Like any mechanical element, shock absorbers suffer wear and tear. Normal maintenance includes shock absorber disassembly, seal and o-ring replacement, oil replacement, and bench testing.

Yes, there are spare parts for all the parts that make up the repairable shock absorbers. For those that cannot be repaired, there is a replacement of silentblocks.
