Internal stroke sensor for an ifp shock assembly

A shock assembly comprising:

• a damper chamber;
• a damping piston coupled to a piston shaft, said damping piston disposed in said damper chamber and axially movable relative to said damper chamber, said damping piston separating a compression portion from a rebound portion within said damper chamber;
• an internal floating piston (IFP);
• an IFP location sensor, said IFP location sensor to determine a position information for said IFP;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• receive said position information for said IFP from said IFP location sensor;
• and
• utilize said position information for said IFP to determine a shock stroke position of said shock assembly, wherein said processor is a remote processor and said IFP location sensor further comprises:
• a transmitter to transmit said position information for said IFP to said remote processor.
