Balance Groove Technology
All new Mara GEN 2 shocks, aside from XC focused versions, are configured with a new King Can design. This new design includes an active positive/negative system called Balance Groove Technology. It allows positive and negative pressures to equalize, providing great small bump compliance in the early part of the shock stroke. Such a design allows for great small bump compliance regardless of rider size. Additionally, positive and negative air volumes can be easily adjusted by the rider at his or her home by adding or removing the included volume spacers, without the need of any proprietary tools. This adjustment follows the same principle as the IVA system in Manitou forks and represents a high degree of versatility and autonomy in adjustment for the rider.
Other Updates
While the new air cans represent a significant performance upgrade on their own, they are paired with a new air piston that improves reliability and service life with updated seal geometry and simplified service procedures.
