It features a single external compression adjustment knob that controls the low-speed compression damping that is combined with an internal high-speed blow-off circuit which relieves peak pressure upon impacts to achieve race-level performance in a package that is more accessible and easier to adjust.\n\nThis product provides you adjustability over key parameters of the suspension and therefore might require some testing and fine-tuning to obtain maximum performance. With adjustability comes responsibility!\n\n\u003ch3\u003eElka Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stage 3 is our most popular shock model, providing a great balance of performance and adjustability at a competitive price.
