Upplands Väsby, Sweden, May 7, 2020 – The Öhlins® TTX® GP rear shock absorber, featuring an array of leading-edge technologies preferred by championship riders in MotoGP, SBK and BSB competition, is now available for the 2020 Ducati Panigale V2 twin-cylinder superbike.
“Upgrading to the TTX GP shock brings the V2 to an entirely new level of agility, performance and rider satisfaction,” said Andrew Notman, two-wheel sales, marketing and product management, Öhlins.
The latest twin-tube TTX GP shock offers a wide range of precise, hand-adjustable compression and rebound settings to address rider preferences and varying track conditions. The latest adjustable needle with improved guidance and enhanced flow restriction characteristics further enhances compression and rebound damping, while a new 36mm solid piston and next-generation piston band boost traction and feedback for superior control.
The TTX GP shock also helps improve weight transfer as compared to the V2’s original equipment shock, providing a more consistent tire contact patch, enhanced control and improved tire wear and performance.
