It's a linear potentiometer. Just a sensor for measuring fork travel data and hooked up to a logger.

Not all that simple of a task, they collect a fair bit of data that is usefull for alot of things suspension and braking related, which can make a big difference in improving lap times, OR show you exactly why you were off the pace etc etc
