Avid RC AE 13mm Shock Piston (2) (2.5mm Thick) (3 Hole) (1.7mm)

Piston Overview:

The AE 13mm Shock Pistons from Avid RC are precision-machined components designed to enhance the performance of Team Associated’s 13mm shocks. Built with multiple thicknesses and hole sizes these provide increased pack on big landings while minimizing blow-by for a more responsive suspension feel. Their square 90° edges and perfectly round shape ensure a tight fit in the shock body, helping maintain consistent damping characteristics. Whether you're hitting large jumps or tuning for precision handling, these pistons give racers a competitive edge on the track.

About the Pistons

Precision Machining for Peak Suspension Performance

Avid RC’s attention to detail is evident in these pistons, which feature sharp 90° edges and an exact fit that significantly reduces blow-by—resulting in improved pack and more predictable landings. The 2.5mm thickness increases damping under high load, making them ideal for tracks with big jumps, while the included single dimple allows optional customization for adding a bleeder hole to fine-tune handling in slow corners. Unlike stock pistons with chamfered holes and edges, Avid’s design prioritizes sharp geometry for confident landings and enhanced suspension response.
