Are you an overlander or 4×4 owner craving a smoother, more reliable ride both on and off the beaten path? The MT64 Shock Absorbers could be the upgrade your vehicle has been waiting for.
In this post, we’ll explore why MT64 Shock Absorbers stand out in the market and why the MT64 is the optimal choice.
Introduction to MT64 Shock Absorbers: Understanding the Basics
Here are some reasons why they are recognized as groundbreaking:
Innovative Design: Boasting a 64mm internal bore, which surpasses many rivals, these shocks facilitate more oil and accommodate larger piston and shim stacks, delivering superior control and a smoother ride.
Exceptional Durability: Engineered with aerospace-grade aluminium, these absorbers effectively disperse heat and endure tough conditions, making them perfect for daily commutes and intense off-road challenges.
Adjustable Ride Height: Featuring a configurable six-position spring seat, the MT64 allows for 5mm incremental adjustments in ride height, enabling personalization for varying loads and terrains.
Minimal Maintenance: In contrast to numerous high-performance shocks necessitating regular upkeep, the MT64 offers a maintenance-free design, ensuring convenient, long-term reliability.
Enhanced Comfort and Performance: Equipped with a hydraulic end zone top-out for added cushioning, this shock absorber elevates both comfort and operational efficiency, minimizing driver strain and wear on vehicle parts.
Benefits of MT64 Shock Absorbers for Overlanders and 4×4 Owners
Firstly, their ability to provide a refined ride is unmatched. The larger piston and shim stacks allow for precise tuning, offering more control through the stroke and resulting in a smoother and more comfortable experience.
Another key advantage is the shock’s hydraulic end zone top-out feature. This design provides additional padding at full extension, which compensates for unexpected bumps and enhances ride comfort. Whether you’re navigating rough terrains or driving on highways, the MT64 ensures a plush and stable ride.
Furthermore, the durable construction of the MT64 means they can withstand heavy loads and extreme climates without compromising performance. This resilience translates to longer-lasting shocks, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ultimately saving you time and money.
In conclusion, MT64 Shock Absorbers offer a game-changing solution for overlanders and 4×4 owners. Their advanced design, durable construction, and versatile performance make them a top choice for those seeking to enhance their driving experience.
EXplore more on MT64 Shock Absorbers
The MT64’s name is derived from the construction of the shock absorber. The MT is the abbreviated version of the word monotube, relating to the shocks singular tube design. The 64 describes the measurement of the massive 64-millimetre (2.5-inch) internal bore.
As the name suggests, the twin tube has a second internal tube inside the shock to separate oil and nitrogen gas. This is a proven technology that works very well, but has its limitations around oil volume and tuning capability due to the piston and overall internal volume being smaller due to having to house a second tube. A monotube shock absorber is a single body design, which utilises a floating piston at the top of the shock body to separate the oil and nitrogen gas. This allows a much larger amount of oil to be inside the shock absorber, which not only limits the shock fade, but also increases the overall size of the piston. This increase gives our engineers a huge scope for tuning, allowing us to tune your vehicle perfectly.
The MT64 takes inspiration from our tried and proven Nitrocharger, combining with our in-house designed and manufactured world class BP-51 shock absorber, filling the gap between affordable reliability and ultimate race inspired performance. If you’re an avid camper and 4WDer, the MT64 is the perfect companion to get you there and back again with ultimate reliability, all while in complete comfort and control for hours on end.
If you’re looking for an all-rounder shock that is reliable and comfortable everyday, whilst also being ready to tackle offroad terrain, MT64 is the shock for you. Designed to complement and complete the OME range, the MT64 is ideal for anyone that wants set and forget premium performance on demand, without the need to perfectly adjust for your environment.
Due to the increased oil volume and shim stack, the MT64 performs well with added weight. Our engineers have ensured the shock is the perfect companion for touring with your van in tow, providing superior comfort and control even when fully loaded.
The MT64 range has been extensively tuned by the Old Man Emu team to suit each individual vehicle, and provide multiple shock options for your vehicle. The result is a damper range capable of multiple configurations of accessories and weight for the vehicle, ensuring that our OME engineers have done the work for you in terms of tuning. This is achieved with a configurable spring seat allowing your vehicle height to be adjusted as you add or remove accessories. For the driver who just wants reliability and all the hard work done, MT64 is for them and doesn’t require any fine tuning or adjustability.
Our well known Nitrocharger range is a twin tube design, compared to the MT64 which we have opted for a monotube design. The MT64 has a massive internal bore of 64mm which gives our engineers a much larger scope for perfectly tuning the shock absorber for any vehicle platform. This results in a large increase in vehicle control and comfort. Due to the large internal oil volume, MT64 provides consistent damping performance over a wide temperature range and allows you to travel for as long as you need. The MT64 also feature an anodised aluminium body which dissipates heat up to 15x faster and is 1.3x lighter than steel, whilst also providing superior corrosion resistance.
Providing unrivalled Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH) compliance, the bushes limit feedback to the driver through the suspension components. When incorporated into a double bonded bush design, the MT64 achieves high levels of durability without sacrificing comfort.
