Ohlins TTX22M.2 Coil shock absorber

The new TTX22M.2 Rear Shock is the latest enhancement of Öhlins race-winning coil shock, with better end stroke control and improved adjustment range.

Introducing the next generation of big hit suspension technology. The updated TTX22M.2 rear shock builds on the supreme levels of performance, traction and control that made the original TTX22 the go-to shock choice for professional gravity riders.

Improved bottom out performance
The new TTX22m.2 benefits from improved bottom out performance, courtesy of a newly designed bump rubber, in addition to the cup it sits in. This significantly improves mid- to end-stroke control as a result of earlier engagement and more consistent, predictable support. The new bump rubber, in combination with the cup it sits in, acts as a second spring, loading and releasing energy to ensure the rider returns back into position after a heavy compression in a quick, controlled manner. Overall, the spring curve of the shock will improve performance for less progressive bikes that require more end-stroke support. The new design also boasts the added effect of lowering the risk for a hard bottom out that could impact handling.

Easier stroke adjustment
Changing both spring and stroke is an easy operation on the TTX22m.2. This is achieved by adding or removing 2.5mm washers under the bump rubber cup. No special tools are required, nor is shock disassembly needed to perform the operation. The spring, meanwhile, can be changed by simply loosening the preload and removing the spring seat lock ring. The spring can then slide over the end eye, making it easy to optimize shock performance and sag.

Wider adjustment range
The updated shock’s blue trail high-speed compression valve now provides a wider adjustment range. Importantly, this gives the rider more distinct alternatives to choose between when customizing setup. This new wider range also adds support in the pedal mode, making the bike a more efficient climber. The golden DH compression valve retains the same adjustment range as the original, which is already perfectly optimized for gravity riding.

Improved fitting
A new head has been developed for the TTX22m.2, making it more adaptable, in fact the reservoir has been positioned horizontally. Overall, the shock absorber is more compact and can therefore be mounted on a wider range of bikes.

Technology

TTX
All Öhlins rear shocks, from the coil-sprung TTX22m to the latest air-sprung addition; the TTX1Air, are based on Öhlins twin-tube damper technology (TTX). Its precisely engineered design makes the dampers more sensitive and minimizes any required tuning for superior rear wheel traction and control – smoothing out the trail and maintaining your momentum. The TTX system’s design also reduces the risk of cavitation; keeping you safe at high speeds or when hitting big trail features.

One-Piece Seal Head
Using transferable technology developed by Öhlins motocross engineers, proprietary seal head design is not only robust but also delivers the perfect seal required, with low friction for smooth and consistent travel throughout the shock stroke.

End Eye
Featured across Öhlins range of rear shocks and most recently on the new lightweight TTX1Air model, slim-fit end eye design is compatible with multiple suspension systems and platforms out of the box. It is designed to cope with the high levels of side loads caused by frame flex. On TTX22M coil variant, it integrates perfectly with the spring clip built to handle high spring loads and provides optimised support to allow the bump rubber to aid spring return when the shock bottoms out.
