Monotube vs. Twin Tube<br />

Advantages / Disadvantages of Twin Tube and Monotube Shock Absorbers<br />

Twin Tube<br />

Cost Less More<br />

Weight More Less<br />

Packaging Less dead length. Minor<br />

external damage OK. Must<br />

be mounted upright.<br />

Rod Reaction Force Low High<br />

Sealing Requirements Moderate High<br />

Fade Performance Moderate Better<br />

Monotube<br />

Longer dead length. Minor<br />

external damage can cause<br />

failure. Can be mounted in<br />

any position<br />

Twin tube has greater sensitivity to compressibility and hence acceleration.
