On this page you’ll see various economically priced shocks for fitting to general road bikes. We don't sell rubbish, we have selected and tested these shocks to ensure that they are value for money.
They are traditional hydraulic shocks. With some shocks they are part of a range giving length and fitting options, others are one-off models. Generally they are universal shocks - ie there are no choices of spring rating.
We always try to ensure that the shocks you are buying are suitable for your bike, and have the correct bushes etc to fit straight on without modification. Sometimes we may refuse to sell particular shocks if we feel they are unsuitable for your bike, especially if you have a heavy, powerful machine that deserves decent shocks (even if you are selling the bike next week and don't want to spend much on it !!)
The price you see is the price you pay - including UK mainland delivery & VAT.
Excellent value for money, hundreds of pairs sold since 1993.
Bushes supplied with all shocks.
All measurements are fitting centre to centre.
