<p>In a damping-adjustable shock-absorber (10) comprising a pressure tube (12), an outer tube (20), an intermediate tube (22) and a flow-control active valve (28) for controlling the flow of a damping fluid to/from the intermediate tube (22), a flow-control passive valve (32) is interposed between the intermediate tube (22) and the active valve (28). The passive valve (32) comprises a valve body (34, 36) in fluid communication on the one side (64) with the intermediate tube (22) and on the other side (82) with the active valve (28), a movable member (48) slidable in a chamber (46) of the valve body (34, 36), a spring (54) acting on the movable member (48), and metering means (56, 64, 68, 72, 76) for metering the flow of the fluid from the intermediate tube (22) to the active valve (28) through the valve body (34, 36). The metering means (56, 64, 68, 72, 76) are configured in such a manner as to allow to obtain a pressure-flow rate characteristic curve with a first ascending section and a second constant, or even descending, section.
