Electroless Nickel Plated Body
Based on the rock solid 26 Series platform, the 28 Series is electroless nickel plated on the inside and out, encapsulating the base metal to completely seal out the elements and creating a durable, smooth finish on the inside for a consistent performance. This nickel plating provides superior hardness, corrosion resistance, consistency, and lubricity.

Expanded Gas Chamber
The 28 Series also features an expanded gas chamber. This expanded gas chamber eliminates the unwanted rod force increase when the shock is compressed.

Hi-Lo Piston
The newly designed Hi-Lo Piston is designed to be user friendly and extremely versatile, featuring kidney shaped ports on one face and round ports on the other. This feature allows the piston to be flipped to create a softer curve on one side coupled with a stiffer curve on the other side. This versatility allows the Hi-Lo piston to be used in any position on the car. The hard anodized finish creates a wear resistant surface and reduces valve friction for more consistent performance. The piston features substantial porting to increase flow characteristics and can be retrofitted to QA1 26 Series shocks, too.

Hyperscrew
The hyperscrew equipped shocks have a threaded round port near the bearing end of the shock body. This hole is then sealed with a small screw, that has an o-ring built onto it, sealing nitrogen gas pressure inside the shock.
