Special Price €513.10 Regular Price €641.28The Malossi RS24/10-R front shock absorber with a 180 mm center distance and a 45 mm stroke is a product resulting from the collaboration between Malossi and Paioli technicians, which has created an exceptional, compact, and lightweight suspension. Made mainly of ergal, except for the stem and spring, this oleopneumatic suspension with variable setting offers hydraulic adjustment in both extension and compression, compensated by a pressurized nitrogen chamber.
The design of this suspension was the result of extensive research by technicians from both companies, who combined their experiences to create an innovative product. The versatility of this suspension is surprising thanks to the 3 unique adjustment systems, which enhance its use both on the road and on the track: extension hydraulic system adjustment to absorb rough terrain, double compression hydraulic system adjustment (separate for low and high speed), spring preload to adapt the vehicle to the riding position, and adjustable ride height system for cornering behavior.
These special shock absorbers represent the highest technological expression currently available on the market. They are oleopneumatic shock absorbers with a separate compensation tank, specifically designed for competition scooters. The shock absorber rod has a diameter of 14 mm and is made of 38 NiCrMo4UNI 7845 steel, hardened with a hard chrome deposit. The piston has a diameter of 36 mm and features two independent lamellar packs, one for compression and one for extension. The harmonic steel lamellar system allows for precise calibration. The piston guide shoe is made of LUBRIFLON-PTFEB70, a modified compound loaded with bronze. It slides on a GUIDA DU bushing, a compound obtained by sintering a spheroidal bronze state onto a properly pressed mild steel band with subsequent impregnation and coating with a mixture of PTFE+FB. The scraper ring is made of SEALTHANE polyester resin grade 9345.
These shock absorbers offer micrometric preload adjustment through rings and pre-selectable hydraulic extension braking adjustment at approximately 24 positions. Furthermore, they offer a double pre-selectable hydraulic compression braking adjustment at approximately 10 positions each, separate for low and high speed. The oil used is a special low viscosity oil that is practically insensitive to temperature variations. The external compensation tank allows for an increase in the quantities of internal fluids.
