What ARE Mono-Tube Shocks?

Monotube design shock absorbers, sometimes referred to as high pressure nitrogen gas shock absorbers, have a single tube in which the shock components operate in. This design works without a reservoir tube, instead the oil capacity is controlled with a floating piston. The floating piston is important in keeping the oil and nitrogen gas separated during the stroke of the shock absorber, when the damper is controlling the suspension of the vehicle. With no reservoir tube, there is a need to store the oil that is displaced by the rod when entering the cylinder. This is achieved by making the oil capacity of the cylinder adaptable. The cylinder is not completely filled with oil, with the lower part containing nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas and oil are separated by the floating piston. When the piston rod moves in and out the oil flows through the piston generating bump and rebound damping and ultimately controlling the movement of your vehicle.

External Adjustment

KONI developed and manufactured the first adjustable telescopic shock absorbers and continue to innovate adjustment technology in each product. KONI External Adjustment is used on the Twin-tube and Mono-Tube design shock absorbers. This type of adjustment can be made with the shock on the vehicle and in any height of motion. Almost all KONI externally adjustable dampers are quickly and easily adjusted by placing the KONI adjuster knob on the adjuster tab that sticks out of the top mounting threading.
