1. A vehicle suspension comprising:
a fluid chamber enclosed by a cylindrical wall, the fluid chamber comprising:
a compression side;a rebound side; anda piston dividing the fluid chamber into the compression side and the rebound side, wherein the piston comprises:
a first fluid pathway enabling fluid communication between the compression side and the rebound side; an annular bypass chamber providing a second fluid pathway between the compression side and the rebound side, the annular bypass chamber being co-axially disposed between an outer surface of the cylindrical wall of the fluid chamber and an inner surface of a wall of an outer housing of the vehicle suspension damper and being in fluid communication with the fluid chamber via a set of ports disposed in the cylindrical wall of the fluid chamber; and a compression isolator disposed at and sealing an end of the compression side between the compression side and a fluid reservoir, wherein the fluid reservoir comprises a floating piston that movably seals a fluid-fillable portion of the fluid reservoir from a gas pocket of the vehicle suspension damper, wherein the fluid-fillable portion of the reservoir collects fluid from the annular bypass chamber, via a third fluid pathway, as a fluid capacity of the compression side of the fluid chamber decreases due to a volume of an encroaching piston rod during a compression stroke, wherein the floating piston transfers pressure between fluid in the fluid-fillable portion of the reservoir and the gas pocket, wherein the third fluid pathway is disposed between the compression isolator and the outer housing. |
