STX 22 Air Custom Series
Where
light weight of a cross country shock meets the maximum control of a
downhill bike. The search is over, STX22 Air Custom Series offers
unheard of traction and support in light weight durable unit. No
compromise needed.
After analyzing the demands on an
air sprung for Enduro & Trail bikes, the Öhlins STX concept was the
answer. Thanks to the lower damping levels compared to a coil sprung
Downhill shock, a less complex product has been developed that still
maintains high-performance functionality and offer ride efficacy without
tampering with downhill control.
The STX 22 Air
Custom Series features a large piston diameter balanced by a large
compression valve that ensures internal pressures are kept under
control. This results in low hysteresis and excellent damping response,
offering ride efficiency without tampering with downhill control.
Low
and high speed compression and rebound damping are externally
adjustable with an additional climb mode setting, a stability mode
facilitating long climbs with maintained traction.
The
air spring features a seal system optimized for low friction but also
to give a smooth balancing of pressure between the air chambers. The
result is initial suppleness supported by mid-stroke control and that
extra bottom out resistance coming from air spring characteristics. It
is also possible to tune the spring curve by adding or removing volume
spacers or additional oil in the positive air chamber for a more
progressive or a linear feel.
The Öhlins STX 22 Air
Custom Series is available in 4 different lengths/strokes with mounting
hardware compatible with a majority of available Enduro/trail bikes on
the market.
