PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shock absorber, providing smooth riding comfortableness by effectively controlling the damping characteristic according to the variable operational characteristic of a vehicle. SOLUTION: The shock absorber 20 includes: a base valve assembly 40 having a compression valve assembly and an acceleration valve assembly. The compression valve assembly controls a flow passage through the base valve 40 during operation with small acceleration to provide a sure damping characteristic of the absorber 20. The acceleration valve assembly controls a second flow passage through the base valve assembly 40 to perform soft damping to a shock when the shock absorber 20 receives the acceleration exceeding a specific amount.
