Abstract:
1. A suspension damper operable between a compressed position and an extended position, comprising: a compression chamber having a volume reducing in response to operation of the suspension damper from the extended position to the compressed position; a rebound chamber having a volume reducing in response to operation of the suspension damper from the compressed position to the extended position; a reservoir chamber for receiving fluid from the compression chamber via a first fluid path, a second fluid path, and a third fluid path; an inertia valve having an inertia mass slideably moveable relative to the first fluid path, the inertia mass at least substantially closing the first fluid path when in a closed position and movable to an open position in response to acceleration of at least a portion of the suspension damper; a blowoff valve at least substantially closing the second fluid path when in a closed position and movable to an open position in response to pressure in the compression chamber equaling or exceeding a first pressure threshold; and a pressure relief valve at least substantially closing the third fluid path when in a closed position and movable to an open position in response to pressure in the compression chamber equaling or exceeding an adjustable second pressure threshold.
