Advanced elec-TRON Technology

At the core of the elec-TRON system is Nitron’s proprietary proportional solenoid valve, delivering highly precise damping control in real time.

  • 8 millisecond response time
  • Wide adjustment range: 300–1800 mA
  • Independent compression and rebound optimisation at each wheel

The solenoid valve is mounted directly on the piston rod, fine-tuning oil flow through the shim stack. Combined with Nitron’s gas-pressurised monotube design, this ensures consistent performance, durability, and superior feedback.

R1 vs R3

  • R1: Fully electronic damping control
  • R3: Adds manual high/low-speed compression adjusters for baseline setup

The system continuously adapts to:

  • Vehicle speed
  • G-forces
  • Road conditions
  • Driver inputs

Result: A suspension system that reacts instantly, maintaining stability, grip, and ride comfort in all conditions.
