If you’re looking to upgrade your ride, the Fortune Auto Generation 6 Internal Floating Piston is where it’s at. This bad boy is lighter than its predecessors, thanks to a low-drag Teflon band that really cuts down on stiction. What does that mean for you? A damper that reacts faster to shock forces, giving you better control when you're pushing your limits.
The 500 series damper shaft seals are a game changer, too. They’ve got 40% less drag compared to older models, which means less hysteresis and a more responsive feel when you’re behind the wheel. These seals are made from a specially formulated Buna rubber compound, striking a solid balance between reliability and performance. Since the shaft seal is crucial for shock performance, having a stronger seal really amps up the overall quality.
Now, let’s talk shims. These little disks cover the port holes on the piston and help regulate fluid flow, which is key for generating the necessary force in a damper. When you’re re-valving your shock, the variety of shims you use is critical. Just a tiny difference in diameter or thickness—think thousandths of an inch—can change the damper's force profile by up to 25%. That’s why the Generation 6 dampers use high-grade Sandvik steel for precision-matched performance.
Another cool feature is the bright dip anodizing process. It not only makes the 6061 forged aluminum parts look slick but also protects them from corrosion and oxidation. That means your parts will stay looking sharp for years, even if you’re putting them through the wringer.
The revised jetting and increased adjustment range give you more control than ever. Each click in the adjustment range has a noticeable effect on damping force, and you’ll even hear an audible click—it's like a little reminder that you’re making a change.
Fortune Auto has really nailed the balance between shaft hardness and malleability after tons of R&D, ensuring safety without sacrificing performance. Plus, they’ve reinforced brackets and mounting points for added strength. Most setups come with OEM brake line tabs welded right to the lower mounts, which simplifies installation and keeps everything looking tidy.
With digressive piston technology, you get a fantastic low-speed force that translates your inputs into precise control. It’s designed to “blow off” force to give you a comfy ride while still keeping grip over rough terrain. It’s all about that sweet spot between comfort and performance.
