Damping rod forks are notorious for being both too harsh and too easy to bottom. This is the nature of damping rod fixed orifice forks. Until now, all you could do is change spring rate, oil viscosity and damping hole size. The best available was a serious compromise.
The Gold Valve Cartridge Emulator is another one of the outstanding inventions from Race Tech.
Simply put; Emulators make damping rod forks perform like well-tuned cartridge forks.
Emulators are tunable valves that sit on top of the damping rods and are held in place with the main springs.
Simple to install and completely tunable for all conditions and rider preferences.
