Product information "RRS PRESSURE STAGE UNIT WP/SHOWA"
RRS-SPRINGS - "THE REVERSING LEVER FOR THE FORK"
The RRS springs of the compression unit generate a pressure on the separating piston of the cartridge and this in turn on the compression shim package. Due to the progressive characteristic curve of the RRS springs, the damping resistance also increases progressively with increasing compression, i.e. the further the fork compresses, the (progressively) harder the compression damping becomes. Basically
, the
RRS springs produce a behavior like the bell crank on the shock absorber, i.e. a travel-dependent progressive increase in damping force
The result:
Better absorption of hard edges and waves
Softer response in the upper part of the spring travel
