The Design Of A Racing Shock
As the piston moves inside the shock body, the fluid flows through the piston, first, using the slow speed bleed holes drilled into the piston body. Then, as the speed and pressure increase, the discs are forced open and the fluid is free to flow through slots cast into the piston and the flow is increased. The thickness of the disc as well as the number and diameter all help determine the exact amount of resistance to compression and rebound.
