Construction & Design:
ARB’s BP51 shock absorbers are precision-engineered using premium materials to withstand the rigors of off-road driving. The shock body and remote reservoir are machined from 6061 T6 aluminum, a high-strength alloy known for its excellent heat dissipation and lightweight properties. The Type 3 hard anodized finish provides a durable protective layer that resists corrosion and damage from stones and debris encountered on trails.
The internal components and valving are designed to deliver position-sensitive damping, allowing the shock to adapt dynamically to different suspension travel zones. This results in a smooth, controlled ride during normal driving and firm, responsive damping when the suspension reaches its limits off-road.
ARB’s commitment to quality is evident in their in-house manufacturing process, utilizing state-of-the-art machinery to maintain tight tolerances and consistent performance across every unit.
