The motorcycle shock absorbercross is a central element of the rear suspension. It plays a decisive role in shock management, road holding and stability of the motorcycle. It absorbs compressions and rebounds caused byar the unevenness of the terrain, while keeping the rear wheel pressed to the ground to ensure traction and safety. On a motorcyclecross, where the demands are extreme, a well-maintained shock absorber ensures smooth, efficient and safe handling. At 50 Factory, we offer a wide selection of shock absorbers and bearings compatible with the biggest brands of off-road motorcycles.
The motorcycle shock absorbercross regulates the vertical movements of the rear wheel. It absorbs shocks due to bumps, jumps or sudden landings, and limits rebound effects thanks to the controlled compression and expansion of its hydraulic system. It also maintains the geometry of the motorcycle and prevents the chassis from crushing. Shock absorber bearings, for their part, ensure the moving connection between the shock absorber and other suspension elements such as the link rod or the swingarm. These motorcycle parts cross are essential to ensure stability, comfort and performance.
There are several types of motorcycle shock absorberscross depending on the adjustment level, design and intended use. standard shock absorbers are suitable for leisure use, while the reinforced or competition models incorporate compression, rebound and preload adjustments. Some shock absorbers have separate cylinders for better heat dissipation. On the bearing side, you will find repair kits complete including rings, needle roller cages, seals and axles. These parts are available for the main brands: Honda, Yamaha, KTM, Suzuki, Husqvarna… All our motorcycle shock absorberscross are selected for their robustness and efficiency.
A motorcycle shock absorbercross requires regular maintenance to maintain its performance. Here are the key steps: check for oil leaks or traces abnormal around the rod, inspect the fasteners and bearings, replace the shock absorber in case of loss of efficiency or seizure, clean and grease the bearings at each disassembly. Poor suspension leads to loss of grip, deterioration of riding comfort and premature wear of other motorcycle partscrossWhen off-roading, it is recommended to check the shock absorber after each intensive ride or fall.
The motorcycle shock absorbercross works in synergy with other rear suspension components. For optimal performance, also discover:
The motorcycle shock absorbercross is one of the pillars of your motorcycle's comfort and control when off-roading. When properly maintained and paired with the right bearings, it transforms your ride. Browse our complete catalog of off-road motorcycle parts to ride reliably on all terrains.
