• Polyurethane Components: Rebound bumpers and bushings made from polyurethane, combined with graphite-filled fluon-banded pistons, reduce ride harshness and improve responsiveness.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: Pressurized to 45 or 60 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixture, reducing damping fade and foaming for consistent performance.
