Four wheel drive owners who regularly
operated their vehicles in harsh and remote conditions soon
recognized the benefits of LTRs, and OME commenced a program
to develop these extreme performance shock absorbers for
a number of vehicle models.
A key design characteristic of the LTR is the total separation
of the gas and oil within the remote canister by way of
a floating piston. This prevents the gas mixing with the
oil at high temperatures, which significantly reduces aeration
of the oil and so prevents shock absorber fade during high
shaft speeds. This, coupled with a lower operating temperature
resulting from approximately 75% greater oil volume than
a conventional shock absorber, provides exceptional control
in the harshest of environments.
An LTR can be gassed between 40 and 100psi, allowing a vehicle's
ride firmness to be adjusted for personal preferences. Like
all OME shock absorbers, LTRs benefit from vehicle specific
valving which is pre set by OME's in house ride control
engineers.
Whether you're carrying heavy loads over rough roads, traveling
at high speeds over corrugations, or just want the best
shock absorbers available, OME LTRs are the right choice.

Remote (LTR) shock absorbers were originally
developed for off road
racing applications, where
their precise handling on
dirt roads and superb
control over rutted tracks
proved their consistent
performance was
unsurpassed in all
conditions.
