ARB Old Man Emu Bypass Shock Absorber

The ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 bypass shock absorber brings racing-style bypass technology to everyday 4x4 and off-road use. It is a big-bore, position-sensitive internal bypass shock with a remote reservoir, and it gives you a firm, controlled ride off-road and a comfortable one around town. Old Man Emu also sells it as a 4WD bypass shock or an adjustable off-road shock.

Key Features:

• Internal bypass, shim-controlled, position-sensitive damping: The ride stays comfortable at ride height. Damping builds as the shock nears the end of its travel, which gives more control on big hits.
• 51mm bore: The BP-51 has the maximum bore size and bypass diameter, plus a greater oil volume. That gives the shock more tunability and more ability to generate damping force.
• On-vehicle adjustability: You can adjust compression and rebound damping without removing the shock, so you can tune it to the conditions and your vehicle setup.
• Hard-anodized aluminum construction: The body, reservoir and components are 6061 T6 aluminum with a Type 3, 40 micron hard anodized finish. This helps with heat dissipation and resists corrosion and stone damage.
• Remote reservoir: A piggy back clamp makes it easy to connect the remote oil reservoir to the main shock body.
• Compatible with Old Man Emu components: It works with Old Man Emu springs and related suspension parts, and it is designed to bolt on without vehicle modifications.
• Rebuildable: A qualified suspension technician can rebuild and re-valve the shock.

All BP-51 shock absorbers are designed, developed and tested by ARB's Old Man Emu ride engineers. ARB manufactures them in-house, and the Old Man Emu range was developed and tested in harsh Australian conditions.
