The AV10198 machined 13.2mm pistons for the new Xray big bore shocks are the thicker 2.5mm style with 6 dimples so you can drill out the holes you like. 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.
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.
- Blank piston design has 6 dimples so you can develop unconventional setups on your own.
- Upgrade for XRAY368032.
