Old Man Emu brings racing technology to everyday adventures: BP-51 (bypass 51mm diameter) shock absorbers feature innovative, patent-pending technology developed to deliver exceptional on- and off-road performance. Thoroughly tested in the harsh Australian environment, these large-bore, position-sensitive bypass shock absorbers with remote reservoirs are designed for bolt-on installation without vehicle modifications, providing both comfortable ride quality on city streets and the powerful end-zone damping required for superior chassis control and handling off-road. Damping performance is easily adjustable for both rebound and compression, allowing for custom tuning to suit specific conditions and vehicle setups due to the significant impact on driving dynamics. The body, reservoir, and components are all crafted from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished with a type 3, 40-micron hard-anodized coating for superior heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, and protection against stone damage. Designed, developed, and tested by ARB’s Old Man Emu ride engineering team, all BP-51 shock absorbers are manufactured in-house at ARB. This allows the company to ensure the highest quality through substantial investment in state-of-the-art machinery and complete control over the manufacturing process.
