Shock assembly with position dependent reservoir flow

A method of use of a twin tube shock assembly with internal bypass, the method comprising:

• moving a piston of a shock assembly in a compression stroke, wherein the shock assembly comprises a ride zone with a primary internal bypass and a bump zone with a secondary internal bypass;
• directing displacement flow to a reservoir of the shock assembly through the primary internal bypass when the piston travels in the ride zone during the compression stroke;
• directing shaft displacement flow to a reservoir of the shock assembly through the secondary internal bypass when the piston travels in the bump zone during the compression stroke;
• and
• eliminating risk of cavitation during the compression stroke when the piston travels in the bump zone in response to directing shaft displacement flow through the secondary internal bypass.

A shock assembly with internal bypass, the shock assembly comprising:

• a twin tube shock body comprising an inner tube and an outer tube;
• a ring divider coupled between the inner body and the outer body to separate and form a fluid gap between the inner body and the outer body, wherein the inner body and the outer body are sealed to allow fluid to flow through the gap without leaking;
• bypass ports and bleeder ports formed in the inner body;
• and
• at least one reservoir flow port formed in the inner body and located above body divider ring, wherein the at least one reservoir flow port is configured direct shaft displacement flow of fluid to a reservoir of the shock assembly when a piston of the shock assembly passes by the at least one reservoir flow port during a compression stroke.
