Your rear shock plays a critical role in absorbing impacts, improving comfort, and maintaining control while riding over rough terrain. Over time, even the best shocks can lose their performance due to wear, contaminants, or old oil. A Major Rear Shock Service ensures your shock is working at its peak, improving comfort, responsiveness, and overall bike handling.
Complete Disassembly & Inspection
We begin by carefully disassembling your rear shock and inspecting every component for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. This includes checking the shock body, damper, air spring, and seals for any issues that might affect performance.
Cleaning & Debris Removal
The shock’s internal components are thoroughly cleaned to remove old lubricants, debris, and contaminants. A clean shock is essential for smooth operation and long-term reliability.
Seals, O-Rings, & Dust Wipers Replacement
We replace the seals, O-rings, and dust wipers to ensure the shock remains airtight and that dirt, water, and debris don’t compromise internal performance. Fresh seals improve shock responsiveness and prevent premature wear.
*Seal kits, O-Rings and Dust Wipers are excluded*
Oil Change & Suspension Fluid Refill
The shock’s damping oil is drained and replaced with fresh suspension fluid. This ensures the shock performs consistently, with no reduction in damping performance due to old or degraded oil.
Damper & Air Spring Service
We service the damper system to ensure smooth compression and rebound control. For air-sprung shocks, the air spring system is checked and adjusted for proper pressure and performance. This step ensures that your shock delivers the right level of support based on your riding style and terrain.
Rebuild & Reassembly
After servicing the internal components, the shock is carefully rebuilt and reassembled. We re-lubricate all necessary moving parts to reduce friction and improve overall performance.
Pressure Testing & Calibration
We pressure test the shock to ensure it is properly sealed and functioning under load. The shock is calibrated to manufacturer specifications and tailored to your weight, riding style, and preferences.
Suspension Setup & Fine-Tuning
After reassembly, we perform a complete suspension setup. We adjust air pressure, rebound damping, and compression settings to your exact specifications, whether you ride cross-country, enduro, or downhill. This ensures your rear shock is fine-tuned to provide the best performance for your riding style.
Final Inspection & Test Ride
After completing the service, we perform a test ride to ensure the shock is functioning smoothly and providing optimal suspension performance. We make any necessary final adjustments to ensure everything is dialed in perfectly.
Please Note: This service excludes the cost of any parts that may be needed.
