Old Man Emu Suspension Range

Nitrocharger

The Ultra Reliable Performer

Nitrocharger is a nitrogen-charged twin-tube shock absorber designed for controlled, predictable performance across daily driving, touring, and frequent off-road use.

  1. Twin-Tube Heavy-Gauge Steel Body
    Provides strength and impact protection while maintaining stable oil flow for consistent, long-term damping.
  2. Nitrogen Gas Charged
    Controls internal pressure and heat to reduce shock fade and ensure consistent performance in all conditions.
  3. Enhanced Handling & Ride Comfort
    Tuned valving reduces body roll and improves steering feel for a more controlled, comfortable ride.
  4. Vehicle-Specific Bushings
    Polyurethane and rubber-blended bushes improve alignment, isolate vibration, and extend service life.

MT64

The Ultimate All Rounder

The MT64 is a high-capacity monotube shock designed as a versatile all-rounder, combining proven reliability with enhanced strength and heat management.

  1. Large Monotube Aluminium Body
    Increases oil capacity and heat dissipation while resisting corrosion and stone damage for precise, durable damping.
  2. Configurable Spring Seat for Variable Loads
    Six height positions allow one coil spring to suit changing loads while maintaining ride height and handling.
  3. Hydraulic Top-Out Zone Comfort Padding
    Tuned valving reduces body roll and improves steering feel for a more controlled, comfortable ride.
  4. High-Strength Internals
    22.5 mm hard-chrome piston rod and multi-lip seal ensure durability and consistent performance in harsh conditions.

  2. Adjustable Compression & Rebound
    Allows you to fine-tune ride characteristics for comfort and control based on terrain, load, or driving style.
  3. Remote Oil Reservoir
    Increased Nitrogen oil volume and cooling capacity to reduce heat more effectively, delivering fade-resistant damping, improved control, and consistent ride quality.
  4. 6061 Anodised Aluminium Body
    Provides exceptional heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, and protection against stone damage, ensuring long-term reliability.
