Abstract: A shock assembly with internal bypass having position dependent reservoir flow is provided. The shock assembly includes a twin tube shock body having an inner tube and an outer tube. The shock assembly also includes a ring divider coupled between the inner body and the outer body to separate and form a fluid gap between the inner body and the outer body. The shock assembly includes bypass ports and bleeder ports formed in the inner body. Additionally, there are reservoir flow ports formed in the inner body and located above body divider ring, wherein the reservoir flow ports are configured to direct shaft displacement flow of fluid to a reservoir of the shock assembly when a piston of the shock assembly passes by the reservoir flow ports and into the bump zone during a compression stroke. This eliminates the risk of cavitation in the bump zone.
