DEEP DIVE - Inside the Telum's advanced damping technologies!
These four videos will take you through a true deep dive on how the shock is designed, why things are designed the way they are, why it's truly different from anything else out there, and how you can use Rapid Revalve to directly alter the shim stack stiffness in minutes.
Part 1 - Basic design, layout and concept of the Telum - a rundown of the twin-tube architecture and how and why we used that layout.
Part 2 - Further design details - spherical bearings, damper shaft details, IFP design, main piston design, stroke adjust method, hydraulic bottom out and glide ring design.
Part 3 - Rapid Revalve prep - how a shim stack works, how external adjusters work, and why they do different things.
Part 4 - How the Telum is tuned using the Vorsprung Tuning Hub software and the Rapid Revalve technology, what custom tuning can offer you, how the patent-pending Rapid Revalve mechanism works and a bit of a dig into high speed compression adjuster design. And also - how you can tune the Telum yourself!
The eagle-eyed among you will also notice that Rapid Revalve is in fact infinitely adjustable across its range. While we provide tuning recommendations at specified intervals & increments, there is actually nothing stopping you from setting it to any intermediate point in the range. There is no being stuck wishing you were “between tunes” here!
