Controllable cycle suspension

A suspension component for a bicycle, the suspension component comprising:

• a first tube having a first end and a second tube having a second end, the first tube and the second tube configured in a telescopic arrangement along a movement axis with the first end as a first distal end of the telescopic arrangement and the second end forming a second distal end of the telescopic arrangement, the telescopic arrangement having an interior space bounded by inner walls of the first tube and the second tube;
• and
• a fluid damper disposed in the interior space, the fluid damper having a plurality of operational states configured to resist movement of the first tube relative to the second tube, the fluid damper comprising:
• an internal fluid portion exposed to damping fluid,
• an internal dry portion isolated from the damping fluid,
• an actuating member disposed in both the internal fluid portion and the internal dry portion, and
• an obstructing member;
• wherein the actuating member is configured such that movement of the actuating member causes the obstructing member to move along the movement axis relative to the actuating member to enact one of the plurality of operational states of the fluid damper, and
• wherein the fluid damper further comprises a power supply and a motion controller, the motion controller causing the movement of the actuating member, the power supply including a battery configured to provide power to the motion controller and configured to mount to the suspension component in a manner that disposes the power supply rearward of the suspension component.
