In order to allow every rider to use a softer spring rate and increase bike traction and handling, EXT engineers have utilized its best in the business hydraulic bottom out system named HBC (Hydraulic Bottom-out Control), capable to develop more than 50% of hydraulic force only on the last 15% of the stroke, allowing riders to avoid harsh bottom-out situations and provide a compliance and control throughout the entire range of travel.
The Vecta is designed to serve those customers who want maximum performance of a pedal-platform equipped shock, with a great support on the last millimeters of bike rear travel and the unrivaled performance of a coil-over shock.

Note:
AFMLOW RIDERS: Due to the tight frame clearance on Amflow frames, we are recommending a maximum rider weight of 230lbs.
To ensure frame clearance, riders over a 170lb will most likely require and be shipped with a C55 spring-size. C55 spring rates max out at 650lbs rate, which calculates to a 230lb rider weight. If you are over the recommended maximum rider weight, your spring may touch your frame under full compression.
