Nitron R1 FastRoad suspension for Lotus Emira V6
The Nitron R1 FastRoad suspension combines motorsport-derived damper technology with precise response behavior, adjustable vehicle height, and a serviceable construction.
Four variants allow the selection between manual and electronic damper adjustment as well as an additional lift function for the front axle. The approval options vary depending on the version.
Four variants to choose from
Standard: R1 FastRoad with manual, combined adjustment of rebound and compression. Registration can be ensured at our facility. The costs are borne by the buyer.
Standard with FAL: Manually adjustable R1 FastRoad with hydraulic front axle lift and 25 mm lift. Motorsport part without street approval.
Elec-TRON: R1 FastRoad with electronic damper control including control unit, wiring harness, and control element. Motorsport part without street approval.
Elec-TRON with FAL: Electronic damping control including control unit, wiring harness, and control element, combined with hydraulic front axle lift and 25 mm stroke. Motorsport part without road approval.
Standard – straightforward manual adjustment
In the standard version, rebound and compression damping are adjusted via a common setting. This allows the damping characteristics to be tailored to personal preferences and the intended use.
The selected setting remains in place until it is manually changed.
Elec-TRON – electronic damping control
The Elec-TRON version uses an electronically controlled valve in each damper. This jointly influences rebound and compression and allows for individual control of the four wheels. Manual damping adjustment is omitted in the Elec-TRON R1.
The included Nitron DCU takes over the central damping control. Sensors detect vehicle movements and accelerations. In the adaptive operating modes, the control continuously adjusts the damping to the respective driving situation.
Six characteristic maps are available via the control element:
Three fixed characteristic maps: Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus
Three adaptive characteristic maps: Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus
In the adaptive characteristic maps, the damping is continuously adjusted. The selected level determines the basic orientation between comfort and sporty control.
The Elec-TRON variants are delivered as a complete system including DCU control unit, wiring harness, and control element.
FAL – 25 mm stroke at the push of a button
The optional Nitron Front Axle Lift System temporarily raises the front of the vehicle hydraulically. The version for the Lotus Emira V6 offers 25 mm of lift. Operation is via a button press from the interior.
The additional ground clearance makes it easier to drive over speed bumps and to navigate steep driveways or ramps. After lowering, the set ride height is available again.
The system features a hydraulic high-pressure pump, a switch with an integrated warning light, and an acoustic warning function in the interior.
FAL can be combined with both the standard suspension and Elec-TRON. The lift function is for temporarily raising the front; the damper setting is done via the chosen suspension system.
Damper technology from motorsport
The R1 platform was developed from Nitron's racing program and shares essential components with the R3 system. Low-friction components support a sensitive response. The dampers are designed for consistent function even under high loads.
The compact R1 construction does not require external damper compensation tanks.
High-quality manufacturing and long-term maintainability
Nitron manufactures its dampers by hand to order. Springs and damper tuning are tailored to the vehicle and intended use.
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials and hard-anodized components support durability and lifespan. The dampers are fully maintainable and can be professionally overhauled if necessary.
