NITRON elec-TRON Range
Take the Next Step in Suspension Innovation
The Nitron elec-TRON range is a fusion of world-renowned Nitron quality and attention to detail, combined with cutting-edge electronic valve technology. At the heart of the system is Nitron’s proportional solenoid valve, delivering unparalleled precision and control over the damping system. Each shock absorber in the elec-TRON system is equipped with an independent valve, allowing for individual damping control at each wheel. This is essential for optimising handling, stability and ride comfort.
The elec-TRON proportional valve operates within a range of 300-1800mA, providing a broad adjustment capability and a rapid response time of just 6 to 8 milliseconds from full hard to full soft. This system governs both compression and rebound damping. The valve is piston rod-mounted, fine-tuning the bleed characteristics of the shim stack, and is integrated with Nitron’s gas-pressurized mono-tube construction, ensuring maximum performance and reliability. This valve is compatible with both the R1 (electronic adjustment only) and the R3 (manual high and low-speed compression adjustment).
In the R3, the manual settings establish a baseline for the adjustments made by the main elec-TRON valve. The system can precisely adjust damping force based on a variety of factors such as g-load conditions, vehicle speed, road surface, and driver input. This results in highly accurate and responsive damping, significantly enhancing the overall performance of the vehicle.
Choose from 2 elec-TRON Options: Tailored to Your Needs
OPTION 1
INTEGRATION WITH OEM ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
For vehicles already equipped with OEM electronic damping systems such as BMW’s EDC or Porsche’s PASM, the elec-TRON kit is designed to work in conjunction with these. This integration allows users to retain full functionality of the OEM controls, while also benefiting from the added capabilities and precision offered by the elec-TRON system. In this case, the Nitron system complements and enhances the performance of the existing OEM system.
OPTION 2
STANDALONE ELECTRONIC DAMPING SYSTEM
If your vehicle does not come equipped with an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) electronic damping system like BMW’s EDC or Porsche’s PASM, you have the option to install elec-TRON as a standalone electronic damping system. The Nitron DCU (Damper Control Unit) unit is included as part of this system and features a selectable damping control via an adjustment knob. Each DCU is also supplied with a wiring harness.
INTEGRATION WITH OEM ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
elec-TRON R3 Coilover Kit
Theelec-TRONR3 coilover kit combines the Nitron proportional solenoid valve with independent manual compression control. Designed for enthusiasts or professionals looking to further optimise their vehicle’s suspension performance for more extreme driving conditions and a higher level of performance. Piggyback or remotely mounted reservoirs allow quick and simple independent adjustment of high-speed and low-speed compression damping.
elec-TRON R1 Coilover Kit
The elec-TRON R1 coilover kit utilises the Nitron proportional solenoid valve with all of the damping control being carried out by the control system. This kit includes our adjustable top mounts and uses our race springs, giving you the ultimate adjustment for a perfect geometry setup.
elec-TRON RoadSport Coilover Kit
Theelec-TRONRoadSport coilover kit offers many of the same benefits of ourelec-TRONR1 kit but is more road orientated and is developed with a formed spring that works with the OEM top mount.
STANDALONE ELECTRONIC DAMPING SYSTEM
elec-TRON DCU (Damper Control Unit)
The Nitron DCU allows you to transform your shock set up from passive damping to a semi active system. Nitron’s elec-TRON valve is continually adjusting the damping levels every 5 milliseconds, depending on the information it receives from the DCU. The DCU decides what position the valve should be in (and therefore what damping levels are created) by assessing all the data it receives about the car, its attitude and the forces acting on it (braking, cornering and accelerating).
By fitting a DCU in conjunction withelec-TRONshock absorbers, your vehicle not only benefits from having extremely high performance Nitron dampers, but these dampers are constantly adjusting themselves to provide you with optimised levels of grip and comfort. The DCU is fitted with an adjustable control knob, which allows the user to access a number of pre-installed damping maps such as Rain, Tour, Sport, and Race for their specific vehicle. Damping will continue to be constantly optimised, but the overall damping levels will be determined by the user’s selection.
