Fully Adjustable From the Top Caps
Compression, rebound, and spring preload adjustments are easily accessed via top-mounted adjusters for quick tuning changes during rides.
Hydraulic Bottoming Control
An integrated hydraulic stop reduces harsh bottoming during aggressive off-road impacts and heavy braking situations.
