Show original supplier description

It minimizes the risk of dangerous "tank slappers," making it a crucial component for both racers and street riders seeking optimal control. Constructed with a piston-style design, this damper features oil kept under pressure to eliminate free play, ensuring smooth and responsive action. It offers 16-20 adjustable settings (clicks), allowing riders to precisely tune damping to their preferences and riding conditions. The damper is also rebuildable, contributing to its longevity and sustained performance. The unit is fully mechanical, meaning it does not rely on electronic systems. It comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty against defects.
