Piston Details for 13mm Dampers

This Serpent 500901 piston fits 13mm shock assemblies and features a 2-hole, 1.6mm bore configuration, intended for use as a spare or tuning component for 13mm damper systems where oil flow tuning is required as part of setup work.

Tuning notes: Port quantity and bore diameter set the metering characteristics of the piston and therefore influence compression and rebound rates. Using a 2-hole 1.6mm piston gives a particular flow profile that lets you make incremental damping adjustments without altering springs or shock end geometry.

How to install: On a tidy work surface, remove the shock cap and shaft, slide out the old piston, and thread in or press-fit the Serpent 500901 piston as appropriate. Check o-rings and thread condition, lubricate with shock oil to prevent damage, then reassemble and cycle to confirm smooth movement and no trapped air before refitting to the model.

Compatibility notes: The piston is intended for 13mm bodies that accept replaceable pistons; confirm whether your shocks require threaded or press-fit pistons and that the shaft diameter matches the piston. Coordinate piston selection with your chosen shock oil viscosity and spring rates for predictable handling changes.

Yes. Swapping piston types alters oil flow characteristics and can change compression and rebound feeling, letting you refine handling without touching spring rates.
Expect a mid-range metering effect that modifies both low-speed compliance and mid-speed control; it is a tuning step between very restrictive and very free-flow piston designs.
Keep parts clean, check o-rings and threads for wear, use a smear of shock oil on seals, and cycle the shaft during reassembly to ensure consistent damping and no air remain.
