At the heart of the shock is the race-developed main piston paired with a true Internal Floating Piston (IFP) that effectively separates oil from high-pressure nitrogen gas. This design minimizes cavitation and shock fade, delivering reliable and repeatable performance. The inclusion of Teflon-lined, heat-treated spherical bearings further enhances durability and smooth operation throughout the suspension’s travel.
