A fluid damper having a damper housing with a first and a second fluid volume, and a damping piston located within the damper and separating the first and second fluid volume. The damper piston has a piston fluid pathway formed therethrough and between the first and second fluid volume. The fluid damper includes a fluid accumulator having a pressurizable gas volume and an accumulator fluid volume isolated from one another by a separation member. The fluid damper has a first fluid pathway extending solely between the first fluid volume and the accumulator fluid volume, and the fluid damper has a second fluid pathway extending solely between the second fluid volume and the accumulator fluid volume. A flow control valve is located in at least one of the first and the second fluid pathways, and the flow control valve has a non-zero threshold value.
