Those rear shocks you have are super trick.

My secret sauce high rebound/digressive valving for rear shocks for more grip ... which is VERY different than the high rebound/digressive valving front shocks need ... is only part of this equation. These particular shocks have super low stiction & ultra fast piston/shaft response speed to increase grip over the typical irregular track surfaces. So when the shock needs to respond 5-10 times per second to keep the tire contact patch at 100% ... this shock can do it.

Part of the reason this is possible, is based on the inner design of this particular shock. It allows us to run ultra low gas pressure without cavitation issues. If I said how low we run the gas pressure, most knowledgeable shock guys would not believe it. That is another key to why those shocks provide so much grip.

You said you needed a lot more rear grip.
