The AV10106 machined 13mm pistons for the new AE 13mm shocks are the thinner 2.0mm style with 2x1.5mm holes. They offer a conventional setup but with a perfectly machined round piston and square 90° edges for a tight-fitting piston that has little blow-by creating more pack on jumps. The AE piston has a slightly rounded outer edge and the holes are chamfered which results in harder landings. Over the years here at Avid, we have developed a process of keeping all the edges sharp with little to no burrs to keep your confidence high when landing big jumps.

Piston Tips

• A square 90° angle on the piston edge and holes is one of the most overlooked advantages of a machined piston. Our pistons have very sharp edges and sometimes this leaves a small amount of flashing that can easily be removed with your fingernail. Do NOT use a nail file or anything abrasive.

Piston Features

• Fits the new 13mm shocks for Team Associated (13mm bore, 2.5mm shaft hole, 2.0mm thick).
• Machined perfectly round with square 90° edges for a tighter fit to the bore of the shock body for less blow-by creating more pack on jumps.
• This 2.0mm thickness allows the piston to be smoother in bumps but at the cost of bottoming out on big jumps, for those use our AV10107 2.5mm thick pistons.
• Has a single dimple if you want to add a small 1.0mm bleeder hole to give the car more bite on slow corners.
• Each package includes 2 pistons inside of a Doodad container printed with AVID logo.
