The Öhlins Road & Track suspension gives our customers a true racing experience, with their own cars, without losing comfort when commuting to work. Our unique Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology allows you to quickly change the stiffness of the shock absorber. When arriving to the racetrack, just turn the golden knob clockwise on the damper to set it in race mode this action changes all four areas in the damper; low and high speed compression and rebound damping.
With Öhlins Road & Track coil overs you will experience a car with blistering response times, improved bump absorption and a massive amount of grip to increase the safety when driving your car on the limit. The car will be easier to balance on the edge of what the tires can handle before losing grip. You will be much quicker on track. The DFV suspension prevents you from losing the racing line when hitting bumps or curbs. The DFV components within react quickly and keeps you in control of the car and in contact with the track. When driving to and from the track, just set the dampers in road mode for a more relaxed and comfortable drive, still with more grip and quicker response time than ever before.

ABOUT ÖHLINS DFV
Öhlins DFV (Dual Flow Valve) technology is a groundbreaking innovation in the world of suspension systems. It is a high-performance damping system designed to provide unparalleled control and comfort in a wide range of driving conditions. The DFV technology utilizes a unique and patented valve design that allows for very precise control of the damping forces in the shock absorber speed range that is most critical for handling, traction, and comfort. Utilizing the DFV technology greatly reduces the compromise between handling and comfort that is normally associated with a common single tube damper. The compression and rebound side are tuned individually. Öhlins DFV technology is featured in our entire range of Automotive Road & Track products — whether on the racetrack or the street, this technology delivers exceptional performance and a smoother ride.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The DFV (Dual Flow Valve) enables tuning the intermediate shock absorber speed range independently from low- and high speed damping. This takes away the compromise between comfort and handling that is associated with common single tube dampers, where the intermediate speed damping can’t be adjusted without affecting low- and/or high speed damping. The Öhlins R&T range uses DFV technology on every single fitment, ideal for drivers who want a versatile upgrade with comfort and agility in one unit.

COMPRESSION & REBOUND
In compression flow (Figure 1) at low shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the shaft jet bleed (lower dotted arrow). At high shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the compression ports in the piston (upper dotted arrow). At intermediate shaft speeds, the oil flow can also be regulated by the compression valve in the DFV. During sudden shaft accelerations, oil can also escape through the compression ports in the DFV, further increasing comfort and handling.
In rebound flow (Figure 2) at low shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the shaft jet bleed (lower dotted arrow). At high shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the rebound ports in the piston (upper dotted arrow). At intermediate shaft speeds, the oil flow can also be regulated by the rebound valve in the DFV. During sudden shaft accelerations, oil can also escape through the rebound ports in the DFV, maintaining tyre contact with the road.
