English term or phrase: oil filled shocks
The motor mounts directly to a beautifully machined aluminum motor mount. Academy has done away with the compression fit motor mount from the original SB and given the decisions back to the driver by allowing for more adjustability with pinion and included spur gear options. A great feature of the V2 is the adjustable slipper clutch; by simply inserting the included wrench a driver can quickly make adjustments without disassembling any part of the car. The V2 has twin ball differentials, ***oil filled shocks***, a modular bulkhead with built-in kick-up and lots more.

Amortisseurs Oleo or Oleomatic (s)


Explanation:
This is an old term used for Dowty front forks on Scott motorcycles and is now generally applied to any oil-filled suspension device. You probably won't find it in a dictionary, but it pretty much says what the device does.
