ARB Old Man Emu Bypass Shock Absorber with Remote Reservoir

The ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 bypass shock absorber brings race-derived damping technology to everyday 4WD and off-road vehicles. BP stands for bypass and 51 is the 51 mm (2-inch) bore. These big-bore, remote reservoir shocks are designed to give comfortable ride quality around town and firm control off-road.

Key Features:

• Internal bypass, position-sensitive damping: Damping is soft near ride height for comfort. It builds progressively toward the end of travel to control the chassis on big hits and prevent harsh top-outs.
• User-adjustable: Compression and rebound can be adjusted independently on the vehicle. This lets you tune the shock for different terrain, speeds and loads.
• Remote oil reservoir: A 6061-grade aluminum reservoir holds more oil, which helps keep oil temperatures lower and performance consistent during extended off-road use.
• High-temperature hose: A Dash 6 Teflon hose with high-flow fittings carries oil between the shock and the reservoir. A piggyback clamp makes it easy to connect the reservoir to the shock body.
• Durable construction: The 51 mm bore body is 6061-grade aluminum with a Type III hard anodized finish. The finish improves heat dissipation and resists corrosion and stone damage.
• Bolt-on design: The shocks are designed to fit without vehicle modification.
• Made in-house by ARB: ARB designs, tests and manufactures the BP-51 range under the Old Man Emu brand.

Developed and tested in demanding Australian conditions, the Old Man Emu BP-51 suits drivers who want better control, less fade and adjustable ride quality for both daily driving and serious off-road travel.
