DVO Suspension has introduced its all-new Prime damper, which the brand is calling “the highest-performing and most adjustable shock damper in its product lineup”.
Designed specifically for riders wanting more than a set-it-and-forget-it platform, Prime delivers external, tool-free, high and low-speed compression adjustments, giving riders full control over the feel of their shock.
Versatility:
From professional enduro race victories to local PR conquests, the Prime damper is designed to excel across all disciplines and terrains. Riders of enduro, trail, and e-bikes alike all stand to benefit from the controlled nature and maximum adjustability of Prime’s optimized damping circuit.
Maximum Adjustability:
The Prime offers wide-ranging compression damping adjustments that deliver control and confidence via a simple tool-free setup.
Low-speed compression (LSC) adjustment
- 6-clicks, with externally adjustable LSC
- Designed to work most effectively at speeds from 1-500mm per second.
- Focused on giving riders stability while simultaneously delivering ample plushness and traction.
High-speed compression (HSC) adjustment
- 10-clicks of HSC adjustment enable a rider to quickly and easily dial in the perfect amount of control for countering sudden g-outs, square-edge hits, and deep landings.
- The HSC circuit is designed to be most effective at speeds greater than 500mm per second.
- A new piston and shim stack work in tandem to move increased oil velocities with zero hydro-lock, allowing the system to react quickly to rapidly ever-changing trail conditions.
Air and Coil Options:
Available in Topaz air or Jade X coil platforms, the new DVO Prime models are engineered to enhance on-trail experience across the widest range of conditions.
The Topaz air series delivers a highly adjustable air platform, capable of delivering small bump suppleness and traction, big impact control, and the ability to easily adjust both the positive and negative air volumes.
The Jade X coil shocks offer the sensitivity, versatility, and durability of a coil platform, with both LS and Pro Rate springs available to meet the demands of the widest range of bikes and riding styles.
Performance Updates:
DVO’s unique adjustable air bladder system has been completely refined with an updated bladder material, end cap seal, and valve core.
These changes are said to allow for a wider range of adjustability and less pressure in the system, which in turn increases durability and reduces pressure loss. These updates aim to enable riders to easily fine-tune their desired level of support across the entire travel range.
Topaz air and Jade X coil shocks updated:
Both the Topaz and Jade X series benefit from updated bushings, engineered to aid in the event of side loads from frame flex, said to result in a smother stroke and increased durability. In addition, the Topaz series receives an updated and oversized seal head and inner shaft, designed to further enhance performance and durability.
For those attending Eurobike, DVO will be located in Hall 12.1, C15 with the Prime models on show, as well as the wider DVO range.
