A vehicle suspension damper includes: a cylinder and a piston assembly, wherein the piston assembly includes a piston; a working fluid within the cylinder; a bypass cylinder surrounding the cylinder and defining a cylindrical bypass channel; an adjustable bypass port fluidly coupling an interior of the cylinder and the cylindrical bypass channel; and a remotely operable bypass valve slidably disposed within the cylindrical bypass channel, the remotely operable bypass valve configured for, upon actuation of an actuator coupled with the remotely operable bypass valve, adjusting a flow of the working fluid through the adjustable bypass port.

A vehicle suspension damper comprises a cylinder and a piston assembly including a damping piston along with working fluid within the cylinder. A bypass permits fluid to avoid dampening resistance of the damping piston. A fluid path through the bypass is controlled by a valve that is shifted by a piston surface when the contents of at least one predetermined volume is injected against the piston surface which acts upon the valve. In one embodiment, the bypass is remotely operable.

A vehicle suspension damper includes: a cylinder and a piston assembly, wherein the piston assembly includes a piston; a working fluid within the cylinder; a bypass cylinder surrounding the cylinder and defining a cylindrical bypass channel; an adjustable bypass port fluidly coupling an interior of the cylinder and the cylindrical bypass channel; and an active bypass valve coupled with the cylindrical bypass channel, the active bypass valve configured to adjust a working size of the adjustable bypass port to modify a flow of said working fluid through the adjustable bypass port.

A regulable vibration damper may comprise a cylinder barrel that contains hydraulic fluid in a sealed manner, a piston that can be moved axially within the cylinder barrel along a cylinder barrel axis and that subdivides the cylinder barrel into two working chambers, a piston rod that is oriented parallel to the cylinder barrel axis and is connected to the piston, a valve assembly arranged at a fluid feed through to damp piston movement in an actuating direction, and a bypass duct between the two working chambers. The bypass duct may comprise a first throughflow cross section for a first throughflow direction, wherein the first throughflow cross section differs from a second throughflow cross section for a second throughflow direction. Further, the bypass duct may be formed, at least in part, by an outflow passage that is arranged on an exit side of a pilot valve for adjusting pilot pressure.
