Accumulator shock absorbers have more hydraulic fluid and more surface area from which to radiate heat. Therefore, they can be cycled more frequently at maximum capacity than spring-return models.

In conventional monotube shock absorbers, the internal gas zone is connected to the bottom compression chamber. With ESCV, the external reservoir isolates this zone, ...

Regular shock absorbers do adjust to the road surface; on a harder bump, the shock’s internal piston will move more, and encounter more resistance from the hydraulic oil.

The 35DDS Lite shares the same high performance shock body and internals with the 35DDS Pro, but is offered with a hefty price discount. DDS stands for Direct Damping System, and is one of the ...

The “shock” is a suspension component that controls the up-and-down motion of a vehicle’s wheels. Though the devices provide some shock absorption, the job of absorbing shocks is handled ...

Properly adjusted shock absorbers safely dissipate energy. ... Adjustments must be made in gradual increments to avoid internal damage (e.g., adjust from 0 to 1, not 0 to 4).
