The OME Nitrocharger Sport is a further development of the classic OME Nitrocharger. It is a low-pressure gas shock absorber, but works with three working valves instead of two. The working piston now contains a rebound valve and a compression valve, similar to what is used in 1-tube shock absorbers. The bottom valve, as an additional compression valve, is retained. As a result, the OME Nitrocharger Sport enables a broader set-up and better response for increased driving comfort and improved safety reserves.

The Nitrocharger Sport series was introduced in 2006, whereby the designation "Sport" does not indicate sporting hardness, but only serves to distinguish it from the "old" Nitrocharger. The Nitrocharger Sport has replaced the Nitrocharger in most applications and is used in all new developments whenever possible.

The Nitrocharger Sport was also specially developed for the requirements in the 4x4 area and can be extended by up to 50 mm as far as possible. This means that it can be used with both the standard springs and the OME lift springs, with a few exceptions.

Here are the facts at a glance:

• 35 mm working piston with integrated, multi-stage friction-reducing Teflon seal
• Extra strong, hard-chromed 18 mm piston rod
• Unique 3-lip seal ring with check valve and generous piston rod guide for an excellent top seal
• Multi-stage compression valve at the lower end of the working cylinder for optimized, progressive response and driving behavior
• Rust-free polyamide stone chip protection for the piston rod, provided space permits
• Durable polyurethane or rubber bushings; with shock absorbers, either the original parts or OME replacement parts can be used at the upper end.
