RockSport Black Parabolic Valving
Parabolic Valving
Parabolic valving (Patent Pending #63/743,954) provide precision fluid flow in a minimal sized piston stack. Machined parabolic forms contour the butterfly valve shims when under fluid pressure; the shape is contoured to allow variable resistance depending on force-loads allowing an extremely refined tune.
Piston Compression Ports
The smooth bore, multi-ported piston uses a total of 9 ports to produce an even force-load to the butterfly valve shims; 6 for compression and 3 for rebound that ensure longevity and optimal performance. The Shock Piston is finished with functional Type III Mil-Spec Clear HARD Anodize.
Inner Recessed Cap
Our completed package allows for maximum shaft length to be utilized and provides more travel than any similar size Monotube shock; even the internals of the end caps are machined out for additional travel. Removable Bump Cap protects the seal assembly from full compression damage and provides access for servicing the shock.
Oversized Chrome Shaft
Oversized 7/8" hard chrome plated shafts, induction hardened to Rockwell C 60+, exceeding most competitors in durability and can take a beating over and over providing the BEST protection from rock debris; this allows a consistently smooth surface for the seals and wiper to ride on.
