Cheers!
Just changed out my factory spring shock which was a 1000 lb spring to a 350 lb spring shock. Big difference in ride comfort. One of the other guys (Rusty Roads I believe) suggested add 200 lbs to your weight to figure out the best spring, My X-Class is even more comfortable to ride (I ride only paved roads), I did NOT turn the bike upside down to swap the shocks. I found it very easy to make the change with the bike right-side up, and there was no need to get my knee or anything else in the bike while swapping out the shocks.
What shock did you use? Can you provide a link?
@@Brian-Fitz This one at 200 lbs plus my weight.

Would like a rebound demo or opinion on the DNM vs the stock. Would have been a fitting conclusion.
Great feedback! My opinions on the DNM shock are very positive. It’s the same rear shock used on most Sur Ron’s… although it is a shorter length. It’s much more plush than the stock shock. The DNM shock has a 550lb spring whereas the stock shock is 1000lbs… very stiff! If you go on long rides or like to adventure out onto dirt trails I highly recommend the DNM shock
nice video, i will be upgrading mine in a couple days
Nice man! What upgrades are you planning on doing?
Nice
Excellent video! How is the rear shock working for you ?! Softer and more spongy because the stock shock ( 1st Xclass version ) sucks my man, that shit barely move and it’s a pain to ride that ride in these NY streets especially after slapping a 5000w 72v system on it.
I am 6”3 200 so I am leaning towards yours, it also looks like the shock the surron uses ?! No
Please lmk
Yo! Much softer than the stock spring. This is the same rear shock (although it’s shorter) that the surron uses. Highly recommend it but I did hear that it’s hard to find now. I still have the link in the description so hopefully you can get your hands on one. I’m about 225 pounds and this shock made a huge difference…. Which 5000w kit did you throw on? I need more speed haha
@@SD_CRAWLERS greatvinfos my brother ! That would be great because the surron shocks are miles better than that bs we got !
Oh yea it’s a nbpower motor 72v 5000w 100amp sabaton controller super fast and super quite! It’s like a Tesla car wise 🔥. Loving it so far, go for it and you won’t regret it! When you ready lmk and I will put you in contact with the guy I worked with.
Also the link did took me to a link so I think it’s available, check it now and confirm with me please that I will order as soon as I heard from you in the comment 🙌🏿

Is your bike the regular x class or step thru model?
@@adamhurley2406 regular
are you going from a 165 to a 190mm? i was looking at the same shock and was wondering if the 190 would fit my gen 1
Yep! 190mm eye to eye
Received my X-Class 52V on June 9th and it has a new rear shock which is much longer. Also, the mounting bracket on the fender & bushing spacers are completely different. I tried multiple sizes of the DMB RCP-2S but they will not fit. Wondering if anyone has found a shock that will fit on the newer version of the X-Class?
That’s awesome. Congrats on getting your xclass. Lucky you got the larger battery! Jealous. I don’t know of a different shock right now.. sort of trial and error. I would take it to a bike shop and ask them what they think will fit..
Same thing here :(
I have the newer version of the x class as well. I’m waiting for some videos regarding the rear shock, best adjustments, and what to swap to if wanted. What I have seen so far is that the new set up was added because of customer feedback. It has a softer spring and an air adjustable shock. These both can be tuned and make a big difference from what I understand. I haven’t adjusted mine yet but plan on trying it out soon. One thing I need is a pump that goes to 300lbs so that I can put the shock back to stock pressure if I don’t like the feel. I’m going to drop the pressure in like 20 lb increments and see how it rides. It’s supposedly a pretty good set up tho.
@@MrMonro27 I contacted Ariel Rider and they told me to let all the air out of the shock for it to be a softer ride. I let all the air out and it didn't make a difference to me. There was hardly any air in the shock to begin with. For now I have adapted and learned to ride it like I rode a bike when I was a kid. You have to put pressure on the pedals to keep your weight off the seat for moderate bumps or riding on grass. If you see any big bumps or train tracks ahead of you slow down & stand up off the seat & put your weight on the pedals. The bike weighs around 85 pounds so its way more then a regular bike. The front suspension works fine but the back definitely needs a better shock. For them to sell a bike that fast for $2400 they gotta cut corners in some areas. The rear shock is the only real negative about that bike. If anyone finds a decent shock that fits i'll definitely upgrade.
@@user-su9yo3hp9q well said. I’d be interested in a new one as well. Thanks for sharing the info from Ariel rider. I’ll have to try that first. I’m wondering if the shock even serves a purpose with no air in it? Also since I’m 265 lbs I’m wondering if I’d notice a difference? Hopeful thinking.
Any experience woth the dnm air shocks ??
Hey nick! I have not tried out the air shock. I’ve had this DNM shock for about 2 years now and have no leaks and still performs great!
Thanks for making this. Was there a height increase adding a 190mm ?
Hey Noe, maybe a 1/4 overall. Nothing noticeable in terms of a height increase. The shock is 1 inch longer than stock… but it’s a 550 or 650 lbs spring (I don’t recall the exact lbs) so it sags more a little more naturally..
@@SD_CRAWLERS hey hoping u can help me out. So I ended up purchasing a JFOHY 190mm 550lbs shock on Amazon. The 190mm DNM shock isn’t available on Amazon. The top side fits flush, didnt have to use the X Class bushings. However the bottom side there is a gap with it’s original JFOHY bushings so I did use the X Class bushings but those are too wide. Would u recommend I shave them down ?? Worried if it doesn’t work I won’t be able to use the original X Class shock since I shaved down the bushings and won’t fit anymore.
@@ItsNoe hey Noe! I have read on someone’s video that they had to shave down the bushings on one side to get it to fit. Mine honestly fit pretty easily so I might’ve gotten lucky. What do you think it’s off by… like 1 or 2mm?
@@SD_CRAWLERS it’s about 5-6mm off. I would have to shave about 3mm on each side. But just worried if I botch it I won’t be able to use my bike with it’s original shock anymore since I’m modifying Ariel’s bushings. Hope that makes sense
@@ItsNoe ya maybe before you shave them down I would run over to a local bike shop and see what they would recommend. They might sell bushings that fit for cheap. I sold my stock AR shock once I installed my new one… the stock shock is so stiff lol!
Hey what is the eye to eye size you used?
190mm
nice video! have a comparison?
Hey! I don’t have a comparison video but I can tell you that this spring is rated at 650 pounds which is significantly more plush than the stock 1000 pound spring. Much more comfortable. The DNM RCP-2S is the same rear shock used on the sur Ron (although a different size)
Thanks for the vid BH! I just swapped my stock shock for an Fox Vanilla off my mtb bike, same length(6.5in) much softer. You go the stock length or go longer on shock? Thanks
Hey! That’s awesome that you just swapped the shock for the fox vanilla. This one is slightly longer than the stock shock by about 1 inch (190mm shock is about 7.5 inches) Fits great!
@@SD_CRAWLERS great to know! Thanks!
@@SD_CRAWLERS Is there a softer one than this one that work really well. The reason being is because i’m really light weight since i’m super skinny and i love my suspension soft.
Does anyone know, if a third-party Shock will lower the Bike ... ? ...This Bike is way too hi... Im tempted on cutting the springs..!
I guess if your found a 150mm shock that might lower it
