Rear Shock Products and Upgrades

Essential Solutions For Superior Grip and Ride Quality

Reactive Suspension offer a wide range of replacement motorcycle shock absorbers and spare parts as well as carrying out shock servicing and re-valves on most brands of shock.

A good quality shock has a smoother and more accurate response, better bump absorption and improves traction.

Standard Shocks

Most standard shocks have a whole catalogue of fundamental faults. They are built down to a price with loose tolerances suited to mass production. The biggest fault with stock shocks is fade. The loose tolerances and poor build quality result in a shock that will fade quickly with heat.

Spending money on a stock shock to try to rectify the damping problems and fitting a spring matched to your weight does not offer good value for money. Any improvements will be negated once the shock has faded.

Replacing the shock with a good quality aftermarket item is the only sensible option.

Aftermarket Shock Absorbers

Good quality aftermarket shocks are built to much tighter tolerances with higher specification materials. Most manufacturers use compensation devices built in to the design to reduce fade.

We can supply shocks from K-Tech and Hyperpro, custom built to your requirements. The damping and spring rates are chosen to match your weight and how you ride.

Riders who want a lower seat height can order shocks shorter than stock to lower the seat height of the bike.

 K-Tech Suspension.

K-Tech 35DDS Pro   K-Tech 35DDS Lite  

35 DDS Pro

The K-Tech DDS ‘Pro’ rear shock has been designed for use at the highest level of racing and developed in major championships around the world.  As expected from a high quality racing product, the DDS ‘Pro’ features compression and rebound damping adjustment, length adjustment and hydraulic spring preload adjustment.  It also features a unique ByPass Valve adjuster which controls both compression and rebound damping adjustment to assist with chassis control at low velocity shock movements, enhancing tyre feel and grip.  The DDS system uses a smaller piston rod which keeps the system more stable over a wider temperature range due to its small displacement.
