What is the difference between mono-tube and twin-tube shocks?

Shock absorbers come in all shapes, sizes and designs – from the outside it’s hard to know what’s what!

Mono-tube shocks are common in aftermarket 4WD suspension, by design they offer less travel for a given external length and can be more prone to failure if impacted by rocks and debris off-road; a dent to the single tube can damage the internal components.

Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport is a twin-tube design with the outer reserve tube providing protection to the internal components off-road. Utilizing the latest advances in shock absorber technology, Nitrocharger Sport is the most finely tuned 4×4 shock absorber on the market.
