Avid 12mm 2-hole big bore pistons

Avid 12mm 2-hole big bore pistons

Avid extends their range of 12mm big bore shock absorber pistons by two flat-type 2-hole 1.5mm and 1.7mm variants. The precision machined pistons are useable with many of today’s 12mm big bore shocks such as the ones from Team Associated, TLR and Kyosho. Machined to tight tolerances the pistons reduce performance decreasing blow-by and come supplied in sets of four in a handy container. To make the most out of the company’s line of shock parts Avid also released a comprehensive piston table, a 1 page reference and setup help. The goal of the piston table is to provide recommendation on what pistons/oil to use as a standard setup, and then to dictate which pistons to use in order to change setup for grip, large jumps, and smooth or bumpy conditions.
