can someone explain how the second shock has any action ?

b1k3rjp (Jun 27, 2009 at 3:04)

the first shock is attached to it, I guess

b1k3rjp (Jun 27, 2009 at 3:04)

so when the first bottoms out, it has the second to have a bit more of travel

webber123 (Jun 27, 2009 at 9:36)

" It is there to work with the back shock to prevent harsh bottoming. It is activated about a 2/3 of the way through the travel."

b1k3rjp (Jun 29, 2009 at 13:30)

you said it

Looks like something from like 2002. Not the nicest looking peice of machinery, although it is nice and complicated looking which is kinda cool.

isaacsx (Jun 27, 2009 at 8:35)

the design hasn't really changed since bender rode one on jaw drop etc. it's been around for a while...

batesy44 (Jun 27, 2009 at 12:39)

im strugeling to understand how that hing works
dose the seat moove withe the swing arm?
how are the two shox linked??

[Reply]

stustar (Jun 27, 2009 at 13:02)

the two are joind in the frame. the bottom 1 is softer so as you land that takes about 75% of the landing (depending how hard it is) then the top one takes any large force as it is alot harder then botton shock and is better than nothing.

d-bax (Jun 27, 2009 at 18:41)

why put a float in the back on a 12 inch travel FR bike to help with a less harsh bottom out? its an XC or AM rear shock, not FR.

DamienTD (Jun 27, 2009 at 22:57)

why does it have two forks

biketool (Jun 28, 2009 at 4:01)

it doesn't have any forks.

konigkid (Jun 28, 2009 at 13:30)
