ABOUT OLD MAN EMU NITROCHARGER SHOCK ABSORBERS

The latest addition to Old Man Emu’s 4WD suspension range, the Nitrocharger, is the ultra-reliable performer. Designed by a dedicated team of OME ride control engineers through an exhaustive vehicle-specific development program, Nitrocharger 4×4 shock absorbers deliver the best control, durability, and most comfortable ride over all terrain.

Where a spring’s purpose is to carry the load of a vehicle and its cargo, a shock absorber works to control the spring by absorbing excess energy. In doing so, it has a profound impact on your vehicle’s ride and handling.

During the development of OME’s Nitrocharger shock absorbers, particular focus is placed on how well they are matched to the specific springs they’ll be controlling. Our Ride Control Engineers tailor the shock absorber valving to work with the different springs in the range, often resulting in multiple shock absorber options for each vehicle. 

Whether it’s for work or play, ARB has the right solution for your rig. For more information on the Old Man Emu suspension range, head to your nearest ARB store or stockist. We’re available New Zealand-wide.
