Feature-rich M46R monoshock series
Noted Italian suspension specialist Matris' three-way "R" adjustable shock is a sophisticated unit intended primarily for race and track use.
It is equipped with three independent hydraulic control adjustments: high and low speed compression and rebound damping. The ride height is also adjustable, and the spring preload is by hydraulic preload unit.
Computerised engineering systems are used to design, project and produce all the components "and only materials of high-end technical and mechanical characteristics are used - with the objective of reducing weight, promoting high temperature stability and fine damping adjustment to ensure the greatest sensitivity and confidence to the rider, plus excellent stability of the rear axle".
The difference in damping is easily noticeable with every click of adjustment. There is a separate pressurised expansion tank (nitrogen gas) with a fully floating piston. The M46R is supplied as standard with "HP" hydraulic spring preload and the flow dynamics of the 46 mm diameter piston have been specially designed for better control of the suspension dynamics.
Additional features include a high tensile alloy steel 16 mm diameter piston rod, hard chrome coating and lapped finish with PVD TIN (Titanium Nitride) surface treatment; the springs are in Si-Cr alloy steel - available in different rates based on the bike model and rider weight (available in orange and black).
On demand, Matris also offers a pneumatic spring preloading system and rechargeable tank with quick connection for racing.
