Buy MTB Rear Suspension – Maximum Control on Rough Terrain

With good rear suspension on your mountain bike, you ride more comfortably and safely over rough terrain. Irregularities in the path are better absorbed, and you maintain grip in sharp corners or at high speeds. At Hollandbikeshop, you will find a wide range of rear shock absorbers and parts with fast delivery and expert advice.
 

Why do you need MTB rear suspension?

Rear suspension on a mountain bike provides more control, comfort, and safety when riding over technical or rough terrain. The system absorbs shocks caused by stones, roots, and potholes. This keeps the rear wheel better in contact with the ground, preventing slipping and keeping the bike stable. A good rear shock reduces fatigue and helps you pedal more efficiently, especially on long rides or descents. Mountain bikes with rear suspension are essential for those who ride intensively off-road or seek maximum performance in various conditions.
 

What types of MTB rear suspension are there?

There are different types of rear suspension. Most systems use a MTB rear shock, which is integrated into the frame. You can choose from air-sprung and coil-sprung shocks.
•    Air-sprung shocks are lightweight and easy to adjust. They offer many tuning options and are suitable for those who want to fine-tune their suspension to the terrain.
•    Coil-sprung shocks are heavier but deliver consistent performance. They are often chosen for downhill or heavier riding conditions.

Shock sizes vary by frame. Important measurements include the length (eye-to-eye) and the stroke (how much travel the shock provides). These must match the geometry of the bike.
Loose MTB rear shock parts such as seals, bearings, bearing cups, and service kits are available for maintenance and replacement.
An MTB rear shock is not suitable for road bikes or city bikes. These bikes are not designed for rear suspension and have a stiffer frame.
 

What to consider when buying MTB rear suspension?

•    Shock size: Determine the correct size by measuring the eye-to-eye length and the stroke of the shock. These values must fit the geometry of the frame.
•    Mounting system: Check what type of attachment your frame has. Not every shock fits every frame.
•    Material: Most shocks are made of aluminum. Carbon and titanium are lighter and stiffer but also more expensive.
•    Travel: The stroke length determines how much travel you get. More travel means more comfort and control on rough terrain.
•    Compatibility: Ensure that the shock matches the type of bike and riding style. Not every model is suitable for every terrain or use.

Maintenance Tip
Clean your rear shock after every ride. Have your shock serviced by a bike specialist every year (or after 100 riding hours). Use only the correct MTB rear shock parts for replacement.
