Selective steering stabilizer Öhlins S3

Öhlins proudly presents an MX/Enduro world
sensation. Öhlins Selective Steering Stabilizer, the
Öhlins S3. Straight from the R&D department comes
something new and exciting for the 2012 season.
This is the answer for situations when you either don't
get enough support from your steering damper or the
handling of the bike suffers because you get too much
damping from the steering damper when no damping
is needed. Ö hlins engineers went to work well aware
that Motocross, Enduro and off-road riding provides
the toughest of challenges.
The S3 stabilizes the ride and thanks to patented
technology selects when and if the rider needs
assistance. As long as the rider is in charge of the
handle bars and with all the force derived from there
the Steering Stabilizer provides no damping at all.
The rider controls the bike and the front wheel
allowing for a natural feel of the bike and free
movement of the front end. I t is also tuned to not
affect the rider's movement of the bike while jumping.
However, when an outside force like a stone or
another object puts force to the front wheel the system
activates instantly. Thanks to a torsion bar on top of
the fork bridge the torque occurring from the outside
force hitting the front wheel activates the valves in
the Selective Steering Stabilizer. The sudden fast
movement is filtered away and the rider maintains the
control of the bike.
The Selective Steering Stabilizer is easy to use,
no adjustments are needed as the system adapts
to the forces affecting the front wheel. I t is a solely
mechanically and hydraulically designed system.
It is integrated with the Ö hlins upper triple clamp which
comes with the Selective Steering Stabilizer.
It has already been tested by numerous top riders
in MX, Rally Raid and Enduro with great results and
will be available for all major MX and Enduro models
during the spring 2012.
