Nitron elec-TRON R1 & R3 Electronic Coilover Systems

The Nitron elec-TRON range combines Nitron's world-renowned suspension engineering with cutting-edge electronic damping technology to deliver the ultimate balance of performance, comfort, and control.

Available in R1 and R3 configurations, with the option to add the Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL) system, the elec-TRON range gives you complete confidence whether you're attacking a race circuit or navigating everyday roads.

At the heart of every elec-TRON kit is Nitron's advanced proportional solenoid valve, providing lightning-fast electronic damping adjustment while retaining the proven reliability of Nitron's gas-pressurized monotube construction.

elec-TRON R1

The R1 is designed for drivers who want fully electronic damping control with exceptional simplicity. All damping adjustment is managed by the elec-TRON control system via Nitron's proportional solenoid valve, eliminating the need for manual adjustment while providing outstanding ride quality and performance.

Each kit includes:

  • Adjustable top mounts
  • Nitron race springs
  • Fully electronic damping control
  • Gas-pressurized monotube dampers
  • Shared core technology with the R3 platform

elec-TRON R3

Built for enthusiasts and professional motorsport applications, the R3 combines Nitron's electronic damping technology with independent manual high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment via piggyback or remote reservoirs.

The manual compression adjusters establish the baseline suspension setup, while the elec-TRON system continuously fine-tunes rebound and compression damping in real time for maximum performance under changing conditions.

Ideal for drivers seeking the highest level of suspension tuning and adaptability.

elec-TRON Technology

Every elec-TRON shock absorber features its own independent proportional solenoid valve, allowing each corner of the vehicle to be controlled individually. This provides exceptional precision, improving handling, stability, grip, and ride comfort.

The proportional valve operates between 300–1800mA, delivering an extremely broad adjustment range with an incredibly fast 6-8 millisecond response time from full soft to full hard.

The system continuously adjusts damping based on inputs such as:

  • Vehicle speed
  • G-forces
  • Road surface conditions
  • Driver inputs

The piston rod-mounted proportional valve works alongside Nitron's precision shim stack to regulate both compression and rebound damping with remarkable accuracy.

Optional Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL)

Available on both the R1 and R3 systems, the Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL) makes living with a lowered performance car significantly easier.

Designed to overcome common obstacles such as steep driveways, speed bumps, and parking ramps, the hydraulic lift system raises the front suspension approximately 25mm at the push of a button without compromising suspension performance.

The complete FAL kit includes:

  • Hydraulic lift cylinders
  • Hydraulic lines
  • 250W hydraulic pump
  • Wiring loom
  • In-cabin controller

FAL Features

  • 25mm front lift
  • Typical lift time under 3 seconds
  • 250W hydraulic pump
  • Audible in-cabin warning system
  • Illuminated control switch
  • Automatic shut-off function
  • Protects front splitters, lips and underbody components
  • Compatible with a wide range of Nitron suspension systems
