Adjustable Nitron shocks for MT-10

Founded in 1998 and with headquarters in Oxfordshire, England’s famed ‘Motorsport Valley’, British manufacturer Nitron has launched a new fully serviceable upgrade shock range for the new Yamaha MT-10. With the damper fluid under pressure from the nitrogen gas charged cell, the performance from the shocks are far more temperature stable and the feel is under heavy or prolonged use if more consistent. 

Nitron shocks feature a full range of adjustable features including rebound damping to fully adjustable independent high/low speed compression – with a far wider and more linear range of adjustment that the OE unit it replaces; 14 or 16mm induction hardened, super polished piston rod; progressive cellular bump stop; Teflon lined “Ultimate Low Friction” spherical bearings and a “FLEXaLIGHT” coated silicone steel spring.
Pre-set in production, their gas pressurised 40mm R1 large piston mono-tube damping system is said to offer all riders immediate improvements in both handling and ride, in particular under hard and prolonged conditions. For more confident and experienced riders the extra adjustment functions of the R2, R3 and 46mm Race Pro versions allow settings to be tailored to their own requirements and preferences.

For quick and easy ride height adjustment, an easy to use remote, hydraulic pre-load adjuster (HPA) option is recommended for improved convenience. The mono-tube shock body has a hard anodised titanium finish and spring finish options include standard Nitron blue or titanium black.
Nitron uses state-of-the-art dynamometers, 5-axis CNC machines and the latest 3d CAD techniques and brings considerable machining, materials technology, hydraulics, bike engineering and F1 racing experience to their shock absorber design programmes.
