This could be what we’ve all been waiting for, pleased to see you’ve put your neck on the line. Hope they don’t let you down mate. Should sell tons of these
Look forward to get my limited edition shock fitted ( already ordered ) if it manages to get past UK customs . Look forward to the set up video . Well done Rob . Doug @ Stamford Scooter Centre
Super interesting and in great depth so thanks. What are these like on a race scooter tho. I always used bgm on my race scooter as I was lucky enough for them to be one of my sponsor for racing but I went to a mupo rear damper a few years ago as I felt it gave me better feedback and feeling on track and I had alot more rebound setting etc. but watching your video for me this looks like a huge step forward. Thanks
The tune is more for road going boy racers than actual racers because the first couple of cm are quite supple. That being said, it gives great feedback so it would be interesting to hear how it handles a track. It has great anti squat properties so it will help the front wheel stay on the asfalt. The problem with sticking modern shocks on a scooter is that they are designed for modern linkages and not a single pivot design found on a scooter. They tend to be hard (harsh) or too soft. I hope that the way I designed this will give us the best of new tech to control an old design.
Hi Rob, in recent years there has been a choice of spring poundage with some shocks (for instance, one company gives a 400lb option!). I'm not a small fella, and big trips need a lot of gear, so I have tended to go for the higher poundage springs. Has this unit been designed with fully loaded trips in mind and / or, will adjustment take care of this. Thanks, Mark
There is quite a big range of adjustment but Ideally if you are over 6-7 full turns of preload on the spring it would be best with a stronger one. That being said, I have tested just a couple of extra clicks of compression with my wife on the back (she is a big lass) and it's been great

Very good video bro ..... tech vids are interesting and really help people understand how shit works .... clear and well explained. 😊
Clear as mud! 😂
After a good deal of use I have to say this is the best rear shock I’ve ever used - by a large factor.
Great explanation of how you've designed this Rob, hope it all goes well 👏🏼👏🏼
You really are a legend and I really hope you keep doing what you do for all of us.
Just ordered one this morning 👍
Congratulations, my lovely! You are a star 🙂
WELL DONE ROB , I'M GOING TO GET ONE ON MY SHOPPING LIST 👍🏻😎
Good to see the big boys listening to customers,
Nice work Rob.
I've never given a thought into how shock absorbers work. I had no idea that they are fairly complex.
Loved your explanation makes total sense to me...
Ordered for my Series 2 TV 175!
