I'm assuming the HSCV cartridge'd Super T doesn't suffer the same spiking problem as the SSVF equip'd Junior T - Si?

Hoop

like a hydrolic lock that occurs on high speed usually mid-sized hits. Its a design flaw in oriifce type dampers where the fluid cant pass fast enough through the porting and so it (pseudo) locks. Basically makes the fork harsh and gives sore wrists.

The remedy is blow off bypass valves that let oil pass when a critical pressure is met.
