Bitubo XXF mono shocks is equipped with the electronic adjustment of rebound, compression and preload, thanks to the use of the smallest and most efficient micromotors never used before by any suspension producers, that allow increasing the speed more than 30% compared to any other similar system.

The inserted map is visible on the display through the choice of position 1, 2 or 3 and for each of them it is possible to choose the colors: red, green, blue or white.
Another exclusive feature of Bitubo DS system is the possibility to create more personalized set-ups through a downloadable app by Apple store or by Android Market. After downloading the App and selecting it, the user will be faced with the 9 adjustments preset by Bitubo (not modifiable) and 3 more (in grey in the bottom of the application screen), customizable to suit the user. The user can then send his personalized set-ups through the application to the control unit via Bluetooth wireless technology; the set-ups are selectable through the handlebar selector also on the go, with a reaction time of the system of just 100 milliseconds.
