MTBM 1989 TTX2Air Shock

Our high performance, robust air-sprung shock is best suited to bikes with more progressive linkage ratios. The TTX2Air has larger positive and negative air chamber volumes, a double-can, air spring design with additional control of the air volume spacing. This gives riders greater freedom to adjust the spring curve and easily dial-in the exact amount of progression they desire.

The TTX2Air delivers the unrivalled sensitivity, control and flawless all-conditions damping that TTX products have built their reputation on.

Initial set-up of the TTX2Air shock is really easy to do – check out the video here. We’ve made more involved tuning, such as altering volume spacers or adjusting the stroke, as straightforward as possible so it can be performed even with basic skills.

Once dialled-in, you’ll immediately appreciate the shock’s super-plush feel that increases comfort over long, demanding rides, maintains momentum over roots and rocks and also has the capacity to soak up more serious hits. The TTX2Air’s superb levels of confidence inspiring traction and control will encourage you to push your bike harder and faster than ever before.

The TTX2Air combines the superior damping function of our TTX system together with a low friction air-spring. The twin-tubed design enables two-way oil flow through the piston and the double tubes. With the ability to extensively tune the pressure when the oil passes the compression and rebound valves, we have created a well-balanced and extremely predictable damper. This results in a highly effective range of clicks enabling you to easily dial-in the shock and achieve the perfect suspension set-up.

The TTX2Air upgrades an already proven package of damping performance. The metric system design has also allowed us to increase the bushing overlap, making it more robust and improving side load protection. Our wiper seal and air sleeve lubrication technology minimizes friction and delivers outstanding performance that resists fading between service intervals.

Just like every product fitted with TTX damping technology, the TTX2Air has a race-proven settings bank giving access to a huge range of options for tuning the damper to suit any specific rider, bike or riding style.
