Several new technologies including air spring design and serial shim stack have been packaged together with race proven inventions including a floating axle and Öhlins signature stiff chassis. It has already been tested by Team BMC with a real focus to perform on the technical tracks in Paris at the 2024 Olympics.

Suspension innovations have resulted in a new damping system for both the front fork and rear shock. The fork boasts a new OTX14 damper and an updated 2-chamber air spring. This system provides next level traction and wheel control in a stiff chassis with a superior feel and excellent handling. In the racing environment, the suspension allows the bike to efficiently absorb the terrain and maintain rider momentum.
