They don't stop you from riding deep in your travel; you still use all the stroke, it just claps harder at the end. The VSS adapts from 1 to 6 tokens worth of support based on impact intensity, keeping you higher in the travel when charging, managing the stroke efficiently on big hits, then backing off in the final 5-10% to avoid the harsh ramp up. You use your full travel efficiently, whatever the hit. Basically feels like a variable coil spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 0; background: #ecfdf5; padding: 0.8em; border-radius: 4px; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the nozzles:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nozzle controls how fast air moves inside the VSS. That fill rate determines how aggressively the virtual volume builds during compressions. You can swap it in 2 minutes to tune support feel, but most riders run the pre-selected size and never change it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- CLOSING \/ CONTACT --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; padding: 2em 1em; margin-top: 2em; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; color: #555; margin: 0;\"\u003eHave questions?
