The Stage 3 model is derived directly from our top-end Stage 5 model, with which it shares most of the same components. It features a single external compression adjustment knob that controls the low-speed compression damping that is combined with an internal high-speed blow-off circuit which relieves peak pressure upon impacts to achieve race-level performance in a package that is more accessible and easier to adjust.
This product provides you adjustability over key parameters of the suspension and therefore might require some testing and fine-tuning to obtain maximum performance. With adjustability comes responsibility!
The Stage 3 is our most popular shock model, providing a great balance of performance and adjustability at a competitive price. They are ideal for riders who are looking for a great no-nonsense performance upgrade.
