Charger Race Day 2 Damper - 

The RockShox Charger Race Day 2 damper is RockShox’s lightest, race-focused damper upgrade, designed for light weight, race forks like the Rudy. It offers just two modes—Open and a rock-solid Lockout—with the latter significantly improved over the original Race Day by using an updated compression assembly and seal head that eliminate the sag and leakage issues of the earlier design. The Race Day 2 has been designed for gravel riders who want a lightweight, simple system with a firm, reliable lockout for racing and climbing.
