� The multi-speed valving characteristics of the damper (low, mid and<br />

high relative piston velocity) permit flexibility in tuning the damper.<br />

� Different valving circuits in compression (jounce) and extension<br />

(rebound) of the damper permits further flexibility.<br />

� Also generates forces that are a function of position, acceleration and<br />

temperature.<br />
