ohlins is the best atm but there will always be compromise, a new system must be and will be invented soon

It still has valve stacks. But they are now in the adjuster assemblise instead on inside the shock on the main shaft.

The TTX shock is unique in that it works like a steering damper more than a shock absorber. It uses a solid main piston & pushes oil through the adjuster assemblies during compression & rebound stroke. This results in less friction. The shocks run cooler. They use far less parts. They are smaller & weigh less. The spring can also be smaller & weigh less. The valve shims can be changed without complete dissassembly of the shock, etc.

wow great video, I'm just learning the concept's of shock's and forks, how or where can I find data on all makes and model's as far as oil quantity or level? also how do you work out the shim stacks for re-valving, I work on both road race and mx bikes! thank you

Thank you for the video! You don't typically get this kind of insight. Simply awesome!

It does use valve stacks (shim stacks). The TTX just relocated the rebound valving that used to be mounted to the bottom of the shaft, to the top of the shock. On the TTX, both rebound and compression valves are side by side on top. You can clearly see them in various places in the video, and he explains the concept in the beginning of the video.

I imagine that they changed the design so that both valve assemblies can easily be accessed (therefore easily tuned) without taking the shock apart.

interesting concept how it doesn't use valve stacks. I didn't get the full run down of how that part worked, but still interesting.
