These have been a long time go to fork for your racing application, but are they really working where they should be?
Are they not progressive thru the stroke?
Are they harsh feeling?
And why are the Pros removing the Cone Valves?
On the cone valve a negative is when you hit it hard enough to be OUTSIDE it's design range - and the fork blows through. An example would be over jumping a large rhythm into the next face (common in sx - even intentional). This will cause it to bottom (or damn near bottom depending on it's bottoming control methods) causing massive harshness and unpredictable performance leaving the face.

Combo Kits include both Compression as well as Rebound/Mid-Valve Kits with a significant cost savings over purchasing these kits separately. In the "good 'ole days" we got away with just Compression Valving improvements. However, Rebound/Mid-Valves are critical for any modern hi-performance valving setup.
Type 3 Gold Valves are the latest version of our bolt-on fork valving system for cartridge forks. Gold Valves significantly improve the flow over stock pistons, putting valving control on the shim stack instead of the piston. This results in outstanding tune ability, improved control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance.
Includes detailed online instructions, Gold Valve Pistons, Valving Shims, and access to the Digital Valving Search (DVS) which provides specific valving stacks for your exact weight, skill and riding conditions.
Note: Standard Gold Valve Kits are Compression Kits. Combo Kits end in "C" and include both Compression and Rebound Gold Valves.
