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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Replacing the shock with a good quality aftermarket item is the only sensible option.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Aftermarket Shock Absorbers<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Riders who want a lower seat height can order shocks shorter than stock to lower the seat height of the bike.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;juicy_pink&#8221; border_width=&#8221;3&#8243;]<div class=\"mkdf-elements-holder   mkdf-one-column  mkdf-responsive-mode-768 \" ><div class=\"mkdf-eh-item    \"  data-item-class=\"mkdf-eh-custom-5223\">\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-eh-item-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"mkdf-eh-item-content mkdf-eh-custom-5223\" style=\"padding: 77px 0 0 0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"mkdf-item-showcase-holder clearfix\"><div class=\"mkdf-is-item mkdf-is-left\">\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-is-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"mkdf-is-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShock Sales\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mkdf-is-text\" >We can choose from a number of manufacturers, to select the optimal shock to meet your specific requirements.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"mkdf-is-mark\">01<\/span>\n\t<\/div><div class=\"mkdf-is-item mkdf-is-left\">\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-is-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"mkdf-is-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShock Servicing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mkdf-is-text\" >We service shocks from most manufacturers to keep your shock working at it&#039;s best.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"mkdf-is-mark\">02<\/span>\n\t<\/div><div class=\"mkdf-is-item mkdf-is-left\">\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-is-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"mkdf-is-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShock Springs\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mkdf-is-text\" >Top quality springs to suit your weight.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"mkdf-is-mark\">03<\/span>\n\t<\/div><div class=\"mkdf-is-item mkdf-is-right\">\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-is-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"mkdf-is-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShock Revalving\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mkdf-is-text\" >We can revalve standard and aftermarket shocks to improve the damping action.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"mkdf-is-mark\">04<\/span>\n\t<\/div><div class=\"mkdf-is-item mkdf-is-right\">\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-is-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"mkdf-is-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDyno Testing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mkdf-is-text\" >We dyno test shocks for our own use and for customers who want theirs testing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"mkdf-is-mark\">05<\/span>\n\t<\/div><div class=\"mkdf-is-image\" style=\"margin-top: 10px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"812\" src=\"https:\/\/reactivesuspension.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/RS-WEBSITE-4.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reactivesuspension.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/RS-WEBSITE-4.png 1080w, https:\/\/reactivesuspension.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/RS-WEBSITE-4-600x451.png 600w, https:\/\/reactivesuspension.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/RS-WEBSITE-4-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/reactivesuspension.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/RS-WEBSITE-4-1024x770.png 1024w, https:\/\/reactivesuspension.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/RS-WEBSITE-4-768x577.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][vc_row disable_background_image=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_background_image=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row disable_background_image=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text] 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.
