Why are racing shocks pressurized?Answer:
The main reason is due to cavitation. When shocks are extended rapidly with great force, there are extreme pressure drops. These pressure drops are microscopic implosions that can destroy the working components of any damper. Just think of cavitations as mini depth-charges inside your shocks. To reduce the affects and possibility of cavitation the engineers who designed the dampers try to maintain a more stable pressure by starting off higher. Hence high pressure shock absorbers.
