Mountain suspension can be quite confusing! In this video, we take a detailed look at everything that makes a mountain bike shock. We explain the basics, such as coil or airsprung. But also nerd out things such as shim stacks, high and lowspeed rebound damping, volume spacers (often branded as 'tokens') and even explain what IFP stands for, and what exactly it does!
