Under gentle road conditions, the valving allows the shock to travel freely for maximum ride comfort. As conditions get rougher, the shock is compressed faster. The valving responds instantly, to make the shock response firmer, maintaining tire contact and vehicle control. 2. sintered iron pistons and guide rods Sintered metal provides far greater strength than traditional metals, extending shock life and durability. 3. micro-smooth, hard-chromed pistonrods KYB has the smoothest hard-chromed rods in the business for extra-long life and reliability. 4. seamless cylinders and eye rings Most shock cylinders & eye rings are made from flat metal and welded at the seam. High loads KYB cylinders and eye rings are extruded as seamless cylinders, eliminating weak points created by welded seams.   5. multi-lip seals / self-sealing packing KYB uses a triple-lip oil seal to keep the oil in and contaminants out. 6. patented check valve KYB uses a special check valve to minimize foaming caused by the mix of oil and gas inside the shock, and deliver reliable performance, even under tough conditions.
