Vorsprung is excited to announce the launch of the Telum, a unique, custom-tuned rear shock. Over 3 years in development, the Telum brings true custom tuning to the masses.

Features

• Twin tube architecture
• Solid piston, to provide full control over the oil flow
• Adjustable hydraulic bottom out controls the last 15mm of stroke
• Individually sized-to-fit PTFE glide rings for minimum friction
• Ultra-slippery microfinished chrome plated damper shaft
• All-new Vorsprung Tuning Hub online platform automatically generates personalized spring, valving and setup recommendations based on bike and rider inputs
• Patent-pending Rapid Revalve system allows trained technicians to revalve the shock in under 5 minutes with zero oil loss
• Metric sizes available from 250/225x75mmm eye to eye down to 210/185x50mm (250mm = standard eyelet, 225mm = same shock but with trunnion mount instead)
• Spherical bearings where applicable, to isolate side loads from the shock. Cylindrical bearings also available
• Vorsprung collab Sprindex adjustable-rate springs - faster and easier than air pressure adjustments
• Externally adjustable rebound, high-speed compression, low-speed compression and hydraulic bottom-out
• 2-position lockout lever
• Made in British Columbia

What sets the Telum apart?

"Where do we start? The solid main piston means that unlike conventional shocks, no oil flows through the moving piston of the shock. This means that all damping duties, including lockout, can be handled in the reservoir bridge - where our exclusive and patent-pending Rapid Revalve system is housed.

This in turn means that the shock valving can be set after the shock is built with the aid of the Vorsprung Tuning Hub, our online platform which calculates the optimum damper tune and adjuster settings for you.

The polymer spherical bearings also isolate the shock from side loads, whilst being lightweight, easy to replace and not susceptible to corrosion or noise like conventional metal spherical bearings."
