RS24 rear shock absorber

for Yamaha T-MAX 500cc

 

PATENTED oil-gas shock absorber

 

This superlative, compact and very light rear shock absorber was born out of the cooperation between Malossi designers and Paioli manufacturer.

 

A real oil-gas suspension with variable setting and extension adjusting, compensated for a pressurized nitrogen chamber, provided with a special patented spring pre-load adjusting system in order to ensure an excellent driving comfort both for sports and touristic use, with or without passenger on board.

 

The project has been studied for long by the technicians of both companies who, already used to team work, joined their own experiences to create an innovative suspension.

 

In order to ensure its reliability, we have first developed various prototypes, then strictly tested for many weeks on specific benches, before being checked on the road and on the tracks.

 

The versatility of this suspension turned out to be astonishing thanks to three new adjustment systems, which enhance its use both on the road and on tracks:

 

Extension adjustment in order to absorb the harshness of the ground.

Spring pre-load allows to fit the vehicle while driving according to the passengers’ weight. This suspension uses a special patented system, unique in the world, which allows to make all the necessary adjustments by simply using a ring spanner on a screw placed in the head of the shock absorber, easily accessible.

System of setting variation as regards the behavior in bends, whether you use the vehicle for sport.

The peculiarity of this project actually consists in the possibility to make all the necessary adjustments in a quick and efficient way, without removing the shock absorber from the vehicle.

 

Nothing has been neglected while studying the project! The reduction of the weight, for example, was one of our priority aim: this is the reason why most of the components are manufactured in ergal, forged, extruded and made out of solid, thanks to the best present technologies.

 

The result of such a meticulous design allowed to achieve a weight saving of about 20%, in details, our RS24 suspension weights 4.030 grams instead of the 4.838 grams of the original one.

 

We think that this is an important achievement towards that sport concept of our Super T-Max Malossi!
