The advantages and disadvantages of nitrogen shock absorber, the difference between nitrogen shock absorber and oil shock absorber

Nitrogen shock absorber, also called gas-filled shock absorber, is a new type of shock absorber that only appeared a few years ago. Many riders don't know much about it, so let's talk about its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of nitrogen shock absorbers:

1. The main advantage is that it has strong adaptability and can adapt to a variety of road conditions. It can also automatically adjust the pressure of nitrogen to adjust the softness and hardness of the shock absorber.

2. The toughness of the shock absorber is also sufficient, and there will be no bullets when manipulating the steering wheel.

3. Because the inert gas is used, it can avoid the shock absorber damage caused by high temperature.

Disadvantages of nitrogen shock absorbers:

1. The technical requirements for inflation are relatively high, and it is very difficult to repair when damaged.

2. When it is shocked and deformed, it will basically stop working completely.

3. The requirements for oil seals are very high, and the cost is relatively expensive.

The difference between nitrogen shock absorber and oil shock absorber

1. The most obvious difference is that nitrogen shock absorbers use nitrogen to participate in shock absorption, while oil shock absorbers use oil to participate in shock absorption.

2. The structure of the nitrogen shock absorber uses a floating piston. Compared with the oil shock absorber, the oil storage cylinder and a set of valve system are reduced.

3. Under the same conditions, the cylinder barrel and piston diameter of the nitrogen shock absorber is relatively large when it is working, and the damping force produced is larger than that of the oil shock absorber.

4. Since the nitrogen shock absorber uses a floating piston, there will be no emulsification of the oil in the oil shock absorber.

I believe that after reading the above, riders can already intuitively understand the nitrogen shock absorber and the oil shock absorber. If you want to buy a shock absorber, I personally recommend a nitrogen shock absorber. Because the overall performance of a nitrogen shock absorber will be better than a shock absorber, of course, this is in the case of not considering the cost. If it is not too much pursuit of shock absorption performance, oil shock absorbers will be more suitable for riders, riders can choose according to their needs.
