GOLD VALVE CARTRIDGE EMULATORS® Damping Rod style forks are notorious for being both too harsh, too mushy and too easy to bottom. Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators remedy this problem by controlling the damping with a tuneable valve that sits on top of the damping rod and is held in place by the main spring. Simply put; Emulators make damping rod forks perform like well-tuned cartridge forks. Installation and tuning for any condition or rider preference is very straight-forward. ►How Emulators and Damping Rods Work ►Emulator Fitting Requirements for Models not listed in the Product Search. ►Cartridge Emulator Tuning Guide ►Cartridge Emulator Parts List |
