Abstract:
1. A shock absorber for bicycle, the shock absorber comprising: at least one damper device for damping a relative motion between a first component and a second component, said damper device having at least one controllable damping valve with at least one field generating device configured to influence a field-sensitive medium for influencing a damping force of said damper device by generating a field intensity of the field generating device; a control device and at least one sensor device configured to periodically acquire, in real time, at least one parameter for relative speeds between the first and second components relative to one another for event recognition; said control device being configured for deriving, in real time, a field intensity to be currently set by way of the parameter from a characteristic damper curve stored in a memory device; said control device and said field generating device being configured to set the field intensity to be currently set in real time for setting in real time a damping force resulting from the predetermined characteristic damper curve at the parameter; and said damper device having a basic curve defined by mechanical valves, with a damping force gradient being steeper with negative relative speeds than the damping force gradient with positive relative speeds.
