MOTOWOZ
shock bodies begin with high-quality, honed hydraulic cylinder tubing
that is CNC machined. The bodies are then polished and plated for a
superior look and full protection from the elements.The fully threaded
bodies allow for infinite adjustability, while also utilizing “Stub
Acme” threads, which are very resilient to damage. Aircraft quality aluminum billet parts are used throughout each MOTOWOZ shock. High-quality material and precision manufacturing makes MOTOWOZ components incredibly strong compared to some competitors’ stamped or casted parts. MOTOWOZ utilizes heavy-duty, alloy over-sized shafts of 5/8 of an inch. All shafts are ground and hard chromed to military specifications. This type of plating is extremely durable and provides a smooth surface for the seals to ride on—extending the life of the seal. |

The “Big Blue Hose” that is
between the reservoir and shock is actually a rubber hose encased in
braided steel. Next, is another layer of rubber covered by a blue
textile braid. This hose is more resilient to breaking or pinching than
any other reservoir hose available in the ATV market.
 Seal technology – Ask anyone. Just about every ATV racer has “blown” a shock in the middle of a race. Once a shock seal fails, the oil gets out, and the ATV becomes all but impossible to ride. That’s why MOTOWOZ developed a triple seal system. All MOTOWOZ shocks utilize two different types of shaft seals protected by a third seal that acts as a scraper to shield the sealing surfaces. Overheating protection – MOTOWOZ has also addressed the problem of overheating which previously caused the shocks to fade during use. During extreme use, a shock’s temperature increases nearly 200 degrees above that of the initial temperature. As oil temperature increases, viscosity decreases creating a completely different functioning shock. MOTOWOZ tackled these problems in the design stage. By choosing the correct oil and seal types, MOTOWOZ offers a product that is extremely fade-free and consistent. Compression and rebound adjusters – These are the latest “buzzwords” in ATV shock technology. Many riders are familiar with compression and rebound adjustments. They are often called “clickers” (sometimes it seems all they do is click). On many ATV shocks, compression and rebound adjusters offer very little of an adjustment, making it difficult to tell the difference between the hardest and softest settings. In contrast, MOTOWOZ compression and rebound adjusters actually make noticeable internal adjustments. These adjustments affect the rate of oil flow in the shock through the compression and rebound strokes. Both adjusters also work in conjunction with relief valves that make them velocity sensitive. These compression and rebound adjusters, along with the MOTOWOZ spring cross-over rings, make for an unbeatable racing combination. For more see Technology 102 page |
