Itc Shocks

[1982 XC 430]

Ok so I just learned the ITC is Imediate Terain Control. My question is is were they used by other Manufactures or just Husqvarna? At this point in time (1983) there wern't many Twin Shock Bikes left so they couldn't of been used by many. Sounds like the ITC may of been made by Betor as well as Ohlins. Kinda sounds like ITC was a Husqvarna Design or Spec.

Maybe I should ask the question, Who else besides Husqvarna producesd a Twin Shock Bike in 1983? Thanx...

For me , ITC were only used bu HVA.(83-85)

Basically they are Ohlins with a bottoming cone to restrict oil. In my garage I have the original ad for ITC shocks.

 

[jimspac]

Maybe a couple other Euro companies might have had twin shocks other than the trials bikes but Husqvarna was the last holdout

Not twin shock,but modern KTM's used the same concept on the linkless bikes

OK so I will ster the pot one more time. Was the ITC the end of the road for Ohlins Twin Shock development? As they probably never suppied a Motorcycle Manufacture with Twin Shocks after Husqvarna switched to the single Shock that probably ended it for Ohlins. Or did it? Did they go on to produce a aftermarket Twin Shock design after the ITC? Like with external valve ajustments. Trails Bike shocks are a diffrent story so I'm not counting them.

Yes, Ohlins still makes aftermarket hi-tech piggybacks for these bikes. You can also buy non-Ohlins (don't remember the brand name) from Race Tech. You can find the Ohlins from afew different places, but husqvarna-parts.com is always a good place to start. They will set you back about $1,000 USD+ new.

LIke Adam says you can get new improved Ohlins now. They have been pictured and discussed here. You will have to invstigate what damping controls are available, I can see they use two springs instead of the one progressively would one. I saw someone put a set out on ebay at $850 unused and no one bid. If you special order them it will probably end up costing about a quarter of a brand new left over bike. Can am had dual shocks for a while, I know that was the only other bike that entered enduros at the time I did with my dual shock one and he was up in the A class. Well up at the front for sure they mix a and b togheter I think.

ITC = Immediate Track Control ??

 

[suprize]

yep track control was the acro, my bet is visiteur will have a pic of the 83 husky ads promoting the shockers, other than the "ride em cowboy" width, most bike mags rated the itc pretty highly against the singles of the day.

 

[wrx]

betors were used on the 125/175 models only. Ohlins on 250 and big bores.

Ohlins do not really make any direct replacement sets for Vintage huskies Ohlins today. It would have to be made up from
their parts stock. I just talked to the Ohlins guys at Barber. It would be a custom set.

And talked to them about costs. Well have to start 5 plus sets to possibly getting any
possible good price point break

Have been talking to Race Tech for a bike I am building now for someone else. Humm
still working on price as different option s cost more. Thanks to race tech for having a ARHMA discount which will make more affordable. Stay tuned

Thanks to Maico Rob at Unadilla he tried a Race Tech set and raved about performance of them, he should know as he had both Ohlins and race tech and raced each that weekend
side by side. Interesting for sure. Nothing here is going to be inexpensive!

Scan of an old brochure I found in my collection ITC = Immediate Track Control, hydraulic bump stop essentially.

Hey no worries, I thought it might be a bit of a long shot, let me know if you come across any others,
