Be-~ cause the WORKS SUPERCROSSER uses a large diameter piston with hlgh volume valve capacity, 011 pressure remains low. The flow of oil between body and reservoir can then be left unmetered, so that the nitrogen bladder can be pressure adjusted to effect the damping characteristics of the piston. THE WORKS PERFORMANCE PROGRESSIVE DAMPING SYSTEM. Most other shocks use a wave-washer va IvI ng principal. We use progressive valving. Damping adjustability is infinite because in each piston there is a separate orifice or spring loaded ball check valve for each functjon: rebound, 10~ medium & high speed.
