Velocity-Sensitive Damping Control

One of the most significant components in any shock is its piston and valving … they are the heart of any damper. Every shock in our lineup utilizes our race-proven Velocity-Sensitive Damping Control technology. Through the use of different piston flow designs and variable valving specifications, we are able to custom tune each shock for its intended application.
