Corvette C8 (20-) Nitron elec-TRON DCU

Nitron elec-TRON DCU (Damper Control Unit)

The Nitron DCU allows you to transform your shock set up from passive damping to a semi active system. Nitron’s elec-TRON valve is continually adjusting the damping levels every 5 milliseconds, depending on the information it receives from the DCU. The DCU decides what position the valve should be in (and therefore what damping levels are created) by assessing all the data it receives about the car, its attitude and the forces acting on it (braking, cornering and accelerating).

By fitting a DCU in conjunction with elec-TRON shock absorbers, your vehicle not only benefits from having extremely high performance Nitron dampers, but these dampers are constantly adjusting themselves to provide you with optimised levels of grip and comfort. The DCU is fitted with an adjustable control knob, which allows the user to access a number of pre-installed damping maps such as Rain, Tour, Sport, and Race for their specific vehicle. Damping will continue to be constantly optimised, but the overall damping levels will be determined by the user’s selection.
