Stable Platform Valve - SPV

Features the Manitou SPV compression damper. Adjust

SPV air pressure and volume externally to control pedaling

platform and progressive or linear damping. Additional

features include the new Cannondale-Speciﬁ c rebound

system which provides external rebound damping control

with a new indexed dial and wider range of adjustment.

Twin Piston Chamber - TPC

Features independent damping pistons: one optimized for

rebound, and the other for compression. Additionally, we use

a low pressure, high volume system to eliminate cavitation

(which leads to compression spikes and stiffening) and

heat related problems. Our new Quick Range TPC allows

minimum to maximum compression damping adjustment

in a half-turn of the knob. With the combination of Quick

Range TPC and the Cannondale-Speciﬁ c rebound system,

riders can quickly and easily tune ride qualities.

Fluid Flow Damping - FFD

A TPC derived hydraulic damping system featuring

compression and externally adjustable rebound damping

pistons. We use a low pressure, high volume system to

eliminate cavitation (which leads to compression spikes and

stiffening) and heat-related problems. The FFD still uses the

Cannondale-Speciﬁ c rebound system.

SHOCK BOLTS

XC - Cross-country feel. Steeper head tube and seat

tube angles - quicker turning and better climbing.

FR - Freeride style riding. Slack head tube seat

tube angles - more stability- slightly better for

attacking bumps.

CAUTION: Be sure to position shock correctly to prevent frame contact throughout full travel.
