The new pistons are also tapered for independent tuning of compression and rebound. For example, a tapered piston with the taper facing down will travel faster in rebound than it will in compression, allowing the user to tune the rebound and compression movement independently. Available in 2 hole (1.5mm, 1.6mm & 1.7mm), 3 hole (1.4mm) and 4 hole (1.3mm) versions.
