Nitron R1 SYSTEM
The Nitron R1 system offers unrivaled performance and value with a design that gives drivers a wide range of effective, easy to use damping control.
2-Way combined damping adjustment. Developed from our full race suspension and sharing many components with the R3 system, the R1 offers exceptional performance, reliability and value for both road and track use. Widely praised by drivers around the world and respected for out-performing considerably more expensive suspension kits.
R1 kits provides uncompromising quality, reliability and performance without the need for a remote canister. Fade-resistant and hand built with ultra-low friction components, the R1 shock is made to last on the road and track.
The high-grade materials protect against corrosion whilst reducing weight. Every R1 kit is custom built, sprung and fully serviceable. Titanium and hard-anodised parts are hand built to last not only season after season, but also the harshest of winters.
Nitron R3 SYSTEM
The Nitron R3 system sets the standard for ultimate performance with a design that offers drivers and engineers unparalleled damping control.
3-Way independent damping adjustment. By incorporating our class leading large diameter piston and ultra-strong piston rod, the R3 system demonstrates outstanding levels of performance, damping control and adjustment. Piggyback or remotely mounted reservoir allows quick and simple independent adjustment of rebound and fast and slow compression damping. The large range of adjustment and quality of feedback allows the experienced driver to fully exploit the full potential of their car. The R3 is a proven race winner and lap record holder across a wide spectrum of international motorsport formulas.
The high-grade materials protect against corrosion whilst reducing weight. Every R3 kit is custom built, sprung and fully serviceable. Titanium and hard-anodised parts are hand built to last not only the lengthiest endurance races, season after season, but also the harshest of winters.
BI-AXIS HOSE FITTINGS
NTR Hose shocks are fitted with Nitron's exclusively developed Bi-Axis fittings that allow for simple and precise installation.
elec-TRON with DCU
Nitron elec-TRON are active dampers that are electronically controlled and constantly change the damping force of each shock every 6 milliseconds with an on-board g-meter and accelerometers. The elec-TRON system is equipped with its a Proportional Solenoid Valve in each shock, allowing for precise, controlled adjustments within the damping system. With individual valves, each shock maintains independent damping control, resulting in optimized handling, stability and comfort. The computer monitors g-load, vehicle speed, road condition and driver inputs, and uses this information to make changes every 6 milliseconds. To put it in perspective, it takes around 100-150 milliseconds for the human eye to blink…
The Nitron DCU (Damper Control Unit) controls the elec-TRON valve and allows you to transform your set up from passive damping to a semi active system. The elec-TRON valve is continually adjusting the damping levels every 5 milliseconds, depending on the information it receives from the DCU. The DCU decides what position the valve should be in by assessing data it receives about the car, its attitude and the forces acting on it (braking, cornering and accelerating).
DCU is fitted with an adjustable control knob, with pre-installed damping maps such as Rain, Tour, Sport and Race. Damping is constantly optimized and the overall damping levels are determined by each map.
