Tokico Premium Performance shock absorbers (aka "Tokico Blues") have a number of features not found in other shock absorbers. These features allow Tokico shock absorbers to provide a superior combination of handling, stability, and ride quality.

• Piston Rod Guide with Teflon® coated bushing for minimal dynamic friction and good piston-rod life.
• Hardened, chrome-plated, and micro-polished piston-rod for long seal life and smooth operation.
• Twice drawn over mandrel pressure tube. Concentricity provides good sealing and minimal dynamic friction (drag).
• The heart of Tokico's shock absorber is their unique piston design. Tokico's multi-stage variable aperture sandwich valve system with its precision plates and precise orifice control, allows a flexibility of damping control not found in other shocks.
• Tokico shock oil is specially compounded for resistance to breakdown and minimal viscosity change regardless of temperature.
