The ARB BP-51 Bypass Shock Absorber represents a breakthrough in off-road suspension technology, bringing professional racing-grade performance to everyday vehicles. This rear shock absorber features a big bore 51mm diameter piston with position-sensitive internal bypass design and remote reservoir, delivering exceptional performance both on-road and off-road without requiring any vehicle modifications for installation.
Advanced Bypass Technology:
Unlike conventional shock absorbers that only use velocity-sensitive damping, the BP-51 incorporates patent-pending internal bypass technology that provides position-sensitive damping control. This innovative design offers remarkable ride comfort during normal driving while generating increased damping forces at each end of the stroke to prevent harsh bottoming and topping out. The result is superior chassis control over challenging terrain while maintaining everyday drivability.
Premium Construction and Materials:
- 6061 T6 aluminum body, reservoir, and components with Type 3 40 micron hard anodizing
- Exceptional heat dissipation for consistent performance
- Superior corrosion resistance and protection against stone damage
- Remote reservoir with floating piston design separates hydraulic fluid from nitrogen gas
- Maximizes shock travel without dimensional constraints
User-Adjustable Performance:
The BP-51 features independent on-vehicle adjustability for both rebound and compression damping across a wide range of settings. This allows you to fine-tune your suspension to match specific driving conditions, vehicle load, and personal preferences, delivering a truly customizable ride experience that adapts to your needs.
ARB Quality and Engineering:
Developed, tested, and manufactured entirely in-house by ARB's Old Man Emu engineering team under the harshest Australian outback conditions, every BP-51 shock absorber is built using state-of-the-art machinery to ensure the highest quality standards. This is a bolt-on upgrade designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and control for serious off-road enthusiasts.
