Mono-tube vs. Twin Tube Shock Design Differences:

Mono Tube Shock Design: Separate gas and oil chambers High gas pressures (14-20 bars) Single precision tube shock body Big diameter piston

Twin Tube Shock Design: Common gas and oil chambers Low gas pressures (about 4 bars) Twin tube shock body, outer tube no precision Small diameter piston

Advantages of Mono-tube Shocks over Twin Tube Shocks
- Very wide damping rates can be achieved through bigger diameter pistons and shims designs
- Plush feel and full control over all piston speeds through higher gas and damping rates
- Cools faster and more reliable throught the single precision tube shock body
- Bigger diameter piston rods can be used because of bigger internal chambers with sufficient oil
- Can withstand higher pressures and temperatures without aeration or foaming
- Can be installed in any position due to separate oil and gas chambers

Hot Bits Mono-tube Shocks Superior Designs
- Big diameter piston rods - 14 mm diameter for shocks and 22mm diameter for struts
- Big diameter pistons - 40mm diameter
- Unlimited low speed and high speed damping rates available through unlimited shims' stacks
- Superior hydraulic and dust scraper seals that can withstand pressures in excess of 400 bars
- Maximum rigidity through large bearing supports and overlap design
- High quality low friction hydraulic oil used with consistent and stable viscosity over wide temperature ranges
- Chrome piston rods are hardened and precision grinded to exact dimensions
- Fully serviceable designs for all re-valving, re-gas, and seals replacement
- All eye attachments are moulded silent blocks instead of rubber bushes
- Dust covers are 100% natural rubber for maximum flexibility and durability
- Strut is designed with an insert for the shock working body with no welding on the tube at all. This creates a perfect tube with no distortions. All welding is carried out on the outer tube housing.
