Shock valving isnt the same as monotube, or twin tube, or inverted. Valving is how the shock is built to absorb the road. Some shocks are built for extremely fast piston speed with long travel and soft valving to absorb really bumpy terrain. Some are valved really stiff and matched with really stiff springs and can work with only one inch of shock travel. This is the stuff for the racetrack. Valving is how the shock is "programmed"
