Description
Uses Alfa Romeo’s DNA electronic control system. Uses OEM top mounts.
Comfort-focused performance for everyday driving
The elec-TRON RoadSport kit is engineered for drivers who want enhanced handling without compromising comfort or usability. Designed to integrate seamlessly with OEM top mounts, it delivers improved vehicle dynamics while keeping NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) to a minimum—making it ideal for road-focused applications.
Take the Next Step in Suspension Innovation
The Nitron elec-TRON range represents the perfect fusion of Nitron’s renowned engineering quality and cutting-edge electronic valve technology.
At the heart of the system is Nitron’s proportional solenoid valve, offering exceptional precision and control over damping. Each shock absorber features its own independently controlled valve, enabling individual wheel damping adjustment—a critical advantage for optimising handling, stability, and ride comfort.
Advanced Electronic Damping Control
- Operating range: 300–1800mA for wide adjustment flexibility
- Response time: Ultra-fast 6–8 milliseconds (full hard to full soft)
- Control: Simultaneous compression and rebound damping adjustment
- Design: Piston rod-mounted valve for precise bleed control
- Construction: Nitron’s proven gas-pressurised mono-tube architecture
This system fine-tunes the damping response by controlling the shim stack characteristics, ensuring maximum performance, consistency, and reliability.
Compatibility & System Integration
The elec-TRON valve is compatible with:
- R1 systems – fully electronic adjustment
- R3 systems – electronic adjustment combined with manual high- and low-speed compression tuning
On R3-equipped setups, manual adjustments establish the baseline, while the elec-TRON system dynamically fine-tunes damping in real time.
Intelligent Performance Adaptation
The system continuously adjusts damping forces based on multiple inputs, including:
- G-load and vehicle dynamics
- Road surface conditions
- Vehicle speed
- Driver inputs
This results in highly responsive and accurate damping control, delivering improved traction, stability, and overall driving confidence.
RoadSport vs R1
The elec-TRON RoadSport kit shares many key benefits with the R1 system but is specifically tuned for road use. It features:
- A formed spring design for improved compliance
- Compatibility with OEM top mounts
- A more comfort-oriented damping profile
