Malossi RS24/10-R Rear Shock Absorber 290 mm center distance

The Malossi RS24/10-R rear shock absorber with a distance of 290 mm and a stroke of 62 mm 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 is the result of extensive research by technicians from both companies, who have 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 terrain roughness, double compression hydraulic system adjustment (separate for low and high speed), spring preload to adapt the vehicle to the riding position, and an adjustable 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 GUIDE DU bushing, a compound obtained by sintering a spheroidal bronze state on a properly pressed mild steel strip, with subsequent impregnation and coating with a PTFE+FB mixture. The scraper ring is made of SEALTHANE polyester resin grade 9345.

These shock absorbers offer micrometric preload adjustment through rings and preselectable hydraulic extension braking adjustment in approximately 24 positions. Additionally, they offer double preselectable hydraulic compression braking adjustment in 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 quantity of internal fluids. The distance between the shock absorbers is adjustable by up to 25 mm.
