the v2 damper rod for the icon and eclipse 4 has a much larger internal hole diameter.  it replaces the u8088.

this could simply be seen as a weight reduction over the v1 however its primary purpose is to allow for easier filling with damping oil.

a larger quantity of oil can be used leading to a much longer lasting consistent damping and therefore less frequent maintenance is required.

the damping rate when freshly filled remains unchanged and damping setup’s will carry over from the v1 rod.
