Basics
DRCV technology has two critical elements that set it apart from all other air shocks on the market:

1. The Dual Rate Control Valve
This is a position sensitive valve that opens the passage way to the secondary air chamber at a predetermined point in shock travel.

2. Mid-Mount Design
The upper eyelet has been moved to the middle of shock, allowing additional air volume to be placed on top of the shock.

Key DRCV Shock Technology Benefits

1. Performs like a coil shock, but at the weight of an air shock
2. Air spring characteristics are both velocity sensitive and position sensitive
3. Less progressive than a standard air sleeve, but more lively than XV air sleeve
4. No weight penalty over a standard Fox RP23 XV shock
5. Highly tunable - spring curve can be tuned from being fully flat and linear to extremely progressive
6. Built by Fox and uses an RP23 damper to ensure quality and serviceability with a brand name customers trust
