We supply the full range of Manitou air shocks but sometimes you just want coil or you need a shock for a particular fitment. We are able to order in shocks from various brands, including Ohlins, Cane Creek, Marzocchi, Fox, RockShox, DT Swiss, X-Fusion and more. We can provide recommendations on which shocks are better for your application, are more tuneable or set and forget, which are the most awesome and which fit your budget. As we service and tune all brands of suspension we have very good knowledge of what works and what doesn't. And we'll be honest about it.
Use our Rear Shock Enquiry Form to tell us what you're after and we'll come back with options and pricing.
Inline design allows shock to shed weight while still offering support and performance for the majority of riding styles Trail specific tune designed for maximum shock responsiveness, making it perfect for aggressive riding This tune gives the best feel in open small bump sensitivity; increases compression across the adjuster range to a mid-firm platform that is great for pedalling up technical climbs where traction is balance with pedalling efficiency
All versions apart from XC versions are configured with a new King Can with an active positive/negative system called Balance Groove Technology XC versions are fitted with a XC Shim Stack & Lite Can The Lite Can also utilises the same Balance Groove Technology but with a reduction in overall volume for riders looking for a less linear feel to the shock
Ready Mix Tune - Targeted Tuning Available with optional Shockcraft Ready Mix Tune. The Ready Mix Tune is our Pick & Mix Self Tune with the picking, mixing and install already done for you. With the Ready Mix Tune you will get the right combination of playfulness, poppiness and plantedness. The shock will be stable, supportive and suck up the bumps. You'll notice huge changes in feel, speed and confidence. There is also a choice of Trail tune for incremental compression or XC tune with firm lockout.
