As the piston moves inside the shock body, the fluid flows through thepiston first using the slow-speed bleed holes drilled into the pistonbody. As the speed and pressure increases, the discs are forced open andthe fluid is free to flow through slots cast into the piston and theflow is increased. The thickness of the disc, as well as the number anddiameter, all help determine the exact amount of resistance tocompression and rebound.
