DVO Suspension Introduces the New Prime Shock Damper

Valencia CA, June 10th, 2024 - We are excited to officially introduce Prime; the highest performing and most adjustable shock damper in our lineup. For the rider that needs a bit more than a set-it-and-forget-it platform, our new Prime series features external, tool-free, high and low-speed compression adjustments that give you full control over the feel of your shock. It’s an all new system meticulously tuned to offer incredible adjustment range and control.

Versatility

From professional enduro race victories, to local PR conquests, the new Prime damper excels across all disciplines and terrains. Enduro, trail, and e-bikes alike benefit from the controlled nature and maximum adjustability of Prime’s optimized damping circuit.

Maximum Adjustability

The Prime circuits wide-range compression damping adjustments deliver control and confidence via a simple tool-free setup.

Low-speed compression adjustment.
6-clicks of externally adjustable LSC has been designed to work most effectively at speeds from 1-500mm per second. This gives the rider stability while simultaneously delivering ample plushness and traction.

High-speed compression adjustment.
10-clicks of HSC adjustment allows you to quickly and easily dial-in the perfect amount of control for countering sudden g-outs, square-edge hits, and deep landings. Our new HSC circuit is designed to be most effective at speeds greater than 500mm per second. Our new piston and shim stack work in tandem to move increased oil velocities with zero hydro-lock, allowing the system to react quickly to rapidly ever-changing trail conditions.

Air and Coil Options

Available in Topaz air or Jade X coil platforms, the new DVO Prime models are engineered to enhance your on-trail experience across the widest range of conditions.

The Topaz air series delivers a highly adjustable air platform, capable of delivering small bump suppleness and traction, big impact control, and the ability to easily adjust both the positive and negative air volumes.

The Jade X coil shocks offer the sensitivity, versatility, and durability of a coil platform, with both LS and Pro Rate springs available to meet the demands of the widest range of bikes and riding styles.

Performance Updates

New for CY24, DVO’s unique adjustable air bladder system has been completely refined with an updated bladder material, end cap seal, and valve core. These changes allow for a wider range of adjustability and less pressure in the system, which in turn increases durability and reduces pressure loss. This allows riders to easily fine-tune their desired level of support across the entire travel range.

Both the Topaz and Jade X series benefit from updated bushings, engineered to aid in the event of side-loads from frame flex, resulting in a smother stroke and increased durability. In addition, the Topaz series receives an updated and oversized seal head and inner shaft, designed to further enhance performance and durability.
