AEV Bilstein 5160 Remote Reservoir Shocks

AEV-tuned Bilstein 5160 Remote Reservoir Shocks offer increased performance for our customers who regularly travel over long distances of rough terrain. The AEV 5160's feature a custom tune developed jointly by Bilstein and AEV engineers specifically for AEV's DualSport Suspensions.

The key to the 5160 is its remote reservoir which provides a much larger gas chamber than the conventional Bilstein 5100 Series Shocks. This larger chamber allows for far greater tolerance to the oil expansion and pressure increase that occurs as operating temperatures climb inside the shock. Greater tolerance means reduced oil foaming and ultimately more consistent ride performance.

These shocks are included with our DualSport RS Suspension kits, but are also available as an upgrade to existing owners of our DualSport SC or DualSport ST kits.
