Bilstein shock absorbers, the original before any copy The first monotube gas pressure shock absorbers were created by Henry Bilstein in 1954 and, today, they continue to be leaders in quality and performance. Its main advantage was that the oil was under pressure and thus foaming was inhibited as temperature and load increased. The first brand to mount Bilstein shock absorbers was Mercedes-Benz but already in the 1960s they became the reference shock absorbers in Formula 1 used by brands such as Porsche and McLaren. During the nineties Bilstein develops the first semi-active and active damping systems with electronic control and in 2004 the innovative DampMatic for Mercedes-Benz and DampTronic for Porsche. The world's most renowned car brands trust the innovation and quality of Bilstein suspensions for series production. Bilstein has a wide range of shock absorbers that range from those intended for private use to those designed to measure for high-end and competition vehicles. It is a brand that adapts to all pockets and all expectations, from the safety sought by a private driver to the fun sought by those who want to enjoy sportier driving.
