MU456 Reservoir Shock
Elite Track and Street Precision: YSS MU456 Bottom Piggyback Mono Shock
Ready to experience true world-championship-level racing technology on the street or track? The YSS MU456 Series represents the absolute apex of the YSS Mono Line, crafted for high-performance sport bikes, hyper-nakeds, and race-ready machines. Positioned as a full-spec, ultra-premium upgrade, the MU456 features a visually stunning all-billet aluminum body and a unique bottom-mounted piggyback reservoir engineered for maximum thermal efficiency and space savings.
By positioning the high-pressure nitrogen reservoir at the bottom of the shock body, the MU456 drastically increases oil capacity and cooling efficiency, successfully wiping out oil cavitation and performance fade. With a massive 45mm piston and a bulletproof 16mm shaft, this rear shock delivers unrivaled chassis stability, razor-sharp turn-in, and relentless rear-wheel traction during aggressive cornering or high-speed track stints.
Why Step Up to the YSS MU456?
- Advanced High & Low Speed Compression: Take total control over your chassis behavior. Higher-end variants offer independent 30-way adjusters for both high-speed and low-speed compression damping, allowing you to seamlessly isolate aggressive bump-striking and track ripples from low-speed cornering and braking forces.
- Precision Rebound Adjustability: Features 30 distinct clicks of extension damping adjustment. Fine-tune your rear wheel recovery speed to eliminate mid-corner squirming and keep the chassis completely stable over successive, high-frequency ripples.
- All-Billet Technical Aesthetics: CNC-machined entirely from premium aircraft-grade billet aluminum, giving it an aggressive, precision-engineered look while saving significant weight over heavy cast OEM components.
- Oversized Big-Body Architecture: The ultra-rigid 45mm high-flow piston moves a substantial volume of oil per millimeter of stroke for instantaneous, ultra-plush feedback, while the 16mm hardened spindle shaft resists flexing under extreme track loads.
- Flexible Preload and Length Options: Adjust rider sag using either the lightweight threaded lock-ring or an available remote Hydraulic Preload Adjuster (HPA). Features an integrated length adjuster (up to +10mm) to optimize the bike’s steering geometry and swingarm angle.
- Zero-Bind Bearing Mounts: Equipped with highest-quality rod-end bearings with oil-less metal housing sliding surfaces as standard equipment to eliminate stiction and friction.
