How do I adjust the bypass tubes on this shock?

The bypass tubes allow for external tuning of compression and rebound damping. You can adjust these characteristics by modifying the position of the bypass tubes or by using bleed screws, depending on the specific bypass design. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for detailed adjustment procedures.

What does the 'position sensitive' bypass mean?

Position sensitive means the bypass circuit affects damping differently depending on where the shock shaft is in its stroke. This allows for softer damping in the initial part of the stroke and firmer damping during compression or extension, providing a more controlled ride.

Are the bypass reservoirs remote or piggyback?

This specific model features piggyback reservoirs, which are mounted directly onto the shock body. This design is generally easier to mount compared to remote reservoirs, especially when space is limited.
