The present disclosure relates to a valve arrangement (100) for use with a shock absorber and a reservoir. The valve arrangement comprises a first port (110) adapted to be fluidly connected to a first chamber (210) of the shock absorber (200). The valve arrangement (100) further comprises a second port (120) adapted to be fluidly connected to a second chamber (220) of a shock absorber (200). The valve arrangement (100) further comprises a third and a fourth port (130, 140), each of which are adapted to be fluidly connected to a reservoir chamber (310) in a reservoir (300). The valve arrangement (100) is adapted to be able to provide a first main flow path (F1) between the first port (110) and the third port (130), and a second main flow path (F2) between the fourth port (140) and the second port (120). The valve arrangement (100) comprises a first valve (150) for regulating flow in the first main flow path (F1), and a second valve (180) for regulating flow in the second main flow path (F2). The first valve (150) comprises a first flow port (151) and a second flow port (152), wherein the first valve is adapted to operate between a closed position and an open position for regulating flow between the first flow port (151) and the second flow port (152) in response to a pressure input from the first and/or the second chamber (210, 220). A shock absorber (200) comprising the valve arrangement (100) and a method for regulating damping fluid flow by means of the valve arrangement (100) is also provided.
A valve arrangement for use with a shock absorber and a reservoir, comprising:
