Description
Shock Riser Kit red Derbi Senda - inexpensive riser kit for a sportier look, a better riding position and more ground clearance.
With this set you can jack up or lower the shock absorber if the bike is too high for you. Installation is very easy. Raising or lowering is determined by the direction in which you mount the kit on the swingarm - mounting in one direction raises the shock absorber, mounting it the other way lowers it.
- For Derbi / Gilera / Aprilia
- Position riser = + 52MM
- Position lower 1 = - 20MM
- Position lower 2 = - 40MM
Shock absorber Jack Up Kits
On 50cc scooters and motorcycle, the shock is often raised for aesthetic reasons. However, extending shock length does not only affect seat height and looks of your vehicle.
Advantages of height extensions
Raising the rear of a two-wheeler without changing the front suspension changes the vehicle geometry and thus also performance and handling.
If the rear end is higher than the front wheel, the result is a more closed caster angle. As a result, maneuverability in curves becomes better, but stability at high speeds is reduced.
For motorcycles and motocross bikes, there are lowering kits for both the rear and the front wheel. At the rear, the linkage is replaced, and at the front, spring seats and spacers in the fork must be replaced.
On many models, of course, you can also replace the entire shock absorber to change the length and spring travel.
