The AV10198 machined 13.2mm pistons for the new Xray big bore shocks are the thicker 2.5mm style. They offer a conventional setup but with a perfectly machined round piston and square 90° edges for a tight-fitting piston that has little blow-by creating more pack on jumps. The Xray ground piston only comes in blanks and it has a slight indention cut on the top taking away from its total thickness. Over the years here at Avid, we have developed a process of keeping all the edges sharp with little to no burrs to keep your confidence high when landing big jumps.
Piston Tips
- A square 90° angle on the piston edge and holes is one of the most overlooked advantages of a machined piston. Our pistons have very sharp edges and sometimes this leaves a small amount of flashing that can easily be removed with your fingernail. Do NOT use a nail file or anything abrasive.
- We have taken out the engraving on the piston face to identify the hole size in order to keep the face smooth for performance and also helps keep the costs down. So it is recommended to use a Sharpie to mark the tops of them for easy identification.
Piston Features
- Fits the new 13.2mm shocks for Xray (13mm bore, 3mm shaft hole, 2.5mm thick).
- Machined perfectly round with square 90° edges for a tighter fit to the bore of the shock body for less blow-by creating more pack on jumps.
- This 2.5mm thickness allows the shock to pack more on big landings and better corner stability.
- Upgrade for XRAY368032.
- Each package includes (2) 3x1.5 pistons inside of a Doodad container printed with the AVID logo.
