Ohlins TES6U01 Road & Track DFV Rear Coilover Damper Tesla Model 3 / Model Y

The Öhlins TES6U01 is a rear Road & Track coilover damper engineered specifically for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. Developed with Öhlins' patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology, this rear damper is purpose-built to address the unique weight distribution and chassis dynamics of battery electric vehicles, delivering exceptional suspension control for both street and track use.

At the core of the TES6U01 is Öhlins' DFV piston design, which provides separate control over low-speed, high-speed, and ultra-high-speed damping. At low shaft speeds, the system provides controlled, compliant damping for daily driving comfort. As demands increase, the valve transitions to progressively stiffen the damping response — and under sharp impacts, the DFV bleeds off excess force rather than transferring it to the chassis. The result is a rear damper that delivers both precise body control and outstanding ride compliance.

The rear unit features an increased damper stroke over previous-generation kits, paired with custom-wound springs tuned for the Model 3 and Model Y's rear-loaded weight bias. Ride height adjustment is handled independently from spring preload via a threaded lower mount, allowing precise lowering without altering spring characteristics or sacrificing suspension travel.

Öhlins' thermal management system uses a needle bleed valve engineered to expand with heat, compensating for changes in damper fluid viscosity and maintaining a consistent damping rate across extended driving sessions — a key advantage for track use.

Key Features:

• Patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology for multi-speed damping control
• Increased rear damper stroke over previous generation for improved compliance
• Independent ride height adjustment via threaded lower mount — does not alter spring preload
• Custom-wound rear springs tuned for the Model 3 / Model Y rear weight distribution
• Thermal-compensating needle bleed valve for consistent damping under heat
• Corrosion tested to ISO 9227 salt spray standards
• Rebuildable construction for long-term serviceability
• Backed by Öhlins' 2-year limited warranty

This rear damper is part of the Öhlins Road & Track coilover system for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y (2017–2025), bringing race-proven suspension engineering to one of the most performance-capable electric vehicle platforms available.
