Add on Examples:
Penske Shock Add-On's

Regressive valving: Basically there are 2 standard types of valving widely used:

Linear: Straight linear dyno curve, Good for smooth tracks, High flow, High grip. This piston is very user friendly on smooth tracks, but when things get bumpy, it's hard to get the bike adjusted properly for the rough stuff.

Digressive: Digressive curve shape, Increased low-speed Nose, Really good on bumpy tracks, Lacks initial grip on smooth tracks.

Regressive Valving: This piston is the most versatile piston available, It actually has 3 different circuits, Linear, Digressive and Variable Bleed. This piston requires Penske to Dyno,Tune,Dyno,Tune the shock after they initially assembled it, to achieve the proper curve. Essentially creating the best of all pistons, They dyno chart on my shock has 4 different curves on the compression stroke. I'll try to explain it how they explained it to me: As your leaving the apex of the corner and applying the throttle, the piston has a fair amount of Bleed - allowing the bike to squat and grip considerably, as the shock compresses more it goes into it's digressive portion of the cure to allow you to drive off the corner, while still compressing it enters into the linear portion of the curve, If the shock is compressed even further it goes into it's progressive portion of the curve - allowing the shock to absorb bigger bumps and square edged hits. Not only can this piston allow for all the different curves, It is adjustable as to when the shock enters into the next portion of the curve. Improves side grip considerably. All of the guys using Penske in the AMA circuit are on this piston. Due to the nature of the tuning, once the shock is setup correctly for the rider, it will work at any track that you go to, without having to re valve the shock. Basically instead of setting your shock to work good in the worst problem areas of a given track, and having to ride around the other issues it causes - you can adjust the clickers so that the bike feels the way you want it to, and the piston takes care of the rest.... Very nice

Top out Spring: When you are charging hard on the gas, and let off the throttle, applying the brakes - All of the weight and energy transfers to the front of the bike, allowing the shock to extend. Under normal conditions with a standard shock, it will extend to the point of Topping out, This is partially what causes rear wheel hop on corner entry. The top out spring controls the extension of the shock on rebound, Which allows the hop to turn into a controlled slide if you enter the corner hard enough, or if you aren't entering the corner as hard it helps to keep the wheels more in line without hopping.

Hydraulic Spring Perch: This replaces the standard spring perch that holds the bottom of the spring in place on the shock. When the bike is leaned over in a corner, as the spring compresses it tends to bind due to the lateral loads inputted into the swingarm. The hydraulic perch allows the spring to compress regardless of the lateral load... Creating smoother suspension action and compliancy.
