Inside Rancho’s new RS5000X shock is a unique, patented valving system and advanced compression functionality that will improve your vehicle’s overall on- and off-road performance.
So, what’s “progressive engagement valving?” At lower speeds or in the earlier stages of the shock’s travel, an eccentric disc in the valve shin stacks will engage the valving at lower frequencies, helping to control the energy of motion as the cycle of the shock increases or decreases in its action. In practical terms, when hitting a pothole or other nonstandard road element, this technology allows for early flow of fluid, which helps to reduce harsh initial impacts and minimize rough rides.
