Suspension element systems and methods

A suspension element for use with a vehicle comprising:

• a main body including a sidewall and an end cap disposed at an end of the main body, the sidewall and the end cap defining an inner volume;
• a tubular element extending at least partially within the inner volume;
• a primary piston positioned within the inner volume and coupled to the tubular element, the primary piston having a first contact surface;
• a secondary piston comprising:
• a second contact surface configured to engage the first contact surface in at least one position;
• an opposing surface opposite the second contact surface;
• an inner cylindrical face defining a central aperture that receives the tubular element;
• and
• a damping groove, the damping groove comprising a first groove and a second groove;
• and
• an annular chamber formed between the main body and the tubular element, the annular chamber further comprising:
• a recoil chamber disposed between the secondary piston and the end cap;
• and
• an extension chamber disposed between the primary piston and the secondary piston,
• wherein:
• the first groove extends along the opposing surface at a first angle relative a first radial reference line passing through a center of the first groove, and
• the second groove extends along the opposing surface at a second angle relative a second radial reference line passing through a center of the second groove.
