Claim 1:
2. The shock absorber of claim 1, further comprising the hydraulic fluid contained in the cylinder and the reservoir; and
wherein:
in response to the bypass valve being in the closed position:
when the shock absorber is compressing, fluid flows through the at least one compression passage, from the first portion to the second portion, and is prevented by the bypass valve from flowing through the bypass channel, and
when the shock absorber is expanding, fluid flows through the at least one rebound passage, from the second portion to the first portion, and the check valve impedes flow of the fluid from the second portion to the first portion through the bypass channel; and

in response to the bypass valve being in the open position:
when the shock absorber is compressing, fluid flows through the bypass channel and the at least one compression passage, from the first portion to the second portion, and
when the shock absorber is expanding, fluid flows through the at least one rebound passage, from the second portion to the first portion, and the check valve impedes flow of the fluid from the second portion to the first portion through the bypass channel.
