The new BP-51 range of high performance, bypass shock absorbers is the result of an exhaustive development process aimed at delivering the ultimate in both comfort and control. Designed, developed and tested entirely in-house by ARB's team of Old Man Emu ride engineers, BP-51 shock absorbers are vehicle-specific and utilize existing mounting locations to provide easy installation without the need for additional vehicle modification. Unlike most other adjustable shock absorbers, which provide adjustment for compression only, the BP-51 range allows on-vehicle, independent adjustability of both rebound and compression to offer class-leading ride customisation that can be tailored to an individual vehicle or trip requirements.
In addition to the velocity sensitive damping used in most shock absorbers, where the faster the piston moves, the higher the level of damping is generated, BP-51 shock absorbers also generate damping dependent on the position of the piston within the shock absorber's body via their bypass design. While most shock absorbers only generate damping based on fluid flowing through the piston, the BP-51 offers an alternative path from one chamber to the other, around the piston in the form of bypass passages. Some fluid flows through the piston and some fluid bypasses around the piston in the bypass passages. This results in an ability for the shock absorber to provide the best of both worlds, with a comfortable and compliant ride during normal driving and a more controlled ride over more challenging terrain. With greater levels of damping generated at each end of the stroke, the piston slows as it approaches full compression and extension, preventing harsh topping out against the bump stop and allowing larger bumps and corrugations to be absorbed more easily.
All BP-51 shock absorbers are manufactured in-house by ARB. In order to achieve this, significant investment has been made in state-of-the-art machining and hard anodising equipment, allowing ARB total control of the process to ensure the highest possible quality. BP-51 shock absorber bodies are manufactured using aircraft grade (6061) anodized aluminum to dissipate heat more efficiently than steel or alloy steel and provide superior corrosion resistance. Extensive lab, real world and destructive testing have been undertaken during the development process to ensure that reliability, longevity and performance all meet ARB's impeccable standards.

ARB 4x4 Accessories #arbBP5190015L
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm
ARB was founded by Tony Brown back in 1975. He was inspired by his offroading trip to Australia. And soon afterward, he decided to create a company that would provide quality offroad parts for various 4x4 vehicles. During those times, offroaders resort to homemade do-it-yourself parts that often fail during the trip.
The Australian outback is known for its harsh conditions like bumpy roads, extreme temperatures, which are punishing on the vehicles. Broken parts are a common occurrence and Tony decided he could do something better. Using his experience and know-how, he developed more durable equipment that would be able to handle any harsh condition.
Starting in his small garage, he made his prototype, and from then on the rest is history. Today, ARB has become synonymous with 4x4 and offroading and has been the leading offroading brand in the world. They have become the largest offroad parts manufacturer with a presence in different parts of the globe.
ARB heavily invests its resources in its research and development. The company uses the latest CAD, CAM modeling system that enables them to create and fine-tune its design down to the smallest detail. ARB also partners with some of the top brands in the world like IPF, WARN, and more. This allows them to create products that are unmatched when it comes to performance and quality.
When it comes to 4x4 setups, ARB always comes to mind of every offroader out there. They have given enthusiasts quality and reliable parts that help them become the most trusted brand when it comes to 4x4 accessories.
They offer a complete list of offroading parts such as bumpers, roof racks, under chassis protectors, exo cages, and other accessories needed to turn your vehicle into an offroading machine. Visit Vivid Racing and see the list of their products that would fit your specific vehicle.
