Stage6 R/T Pit Bike rear shock 305 - 325mm
Description
Rear Shock Absorber Stage6 R/T Pit Bike / MiniGp 305 - 325mm. Stage6 R/T has developed a new high-end shock absorber for the ever growing and demanding Pitbike / MiniGP market.
The general construction / quality characteristics of the shock absorber are identical to the well-known R/T shocks. Please note that all internal parts of this shock absorber are treated with an anodizing coating to minimize wear and oil contamination. This contributes to the longevity of the product and extends maintenance intervals. Many shock absorbers available on the market do not have such a protective layer, so the Stage6 R/T is clearly ahead of their competition.
The shock absorber is adjustable in compression, rebound and spring preload. All settings can be adjusted independently of each other. , i.e. adjustments made to the compression will not affect the behavior of rebound and vice versa. This is the case with conventional shock absorbers, another quality feature of Stage6 R/T.
The length of the shock absorber can be adjusted both via the thread and nut at the bottom and via a spacer on the top of the shock absorber body; it can be removed to shorten the shock. These 2 adjustments allow for a variation of 20mm, making the shock adaptable to a variety of bikes, styles and riders.
Technical specifications:
- Eye to eye centre distance: 305 - 325 mm

- Piston rod diameter: 14 mm
- Spring rate: 950LB/INCH - 166 N/mm, 61mm inner diameter
- Compression: 20 clicks
- Rebound: 25 clicks
Shock absorber
Basic functionality
Whether motocross, scooter, moped or motorcycle, shock absorbers have a very simple and basic function: they absorb shocks and vibrations to make riding comfortable and safe. Without shock absorbers, you wouldn't be able to reach very high speeds because the wheels wouldn't really stay on the ground.
Since shock absorbers provide the connection to the ground and are therefore one of the main safety elements of a vehicle, they need to be maintained regularly and be fully operational at all times.
What are the symptoms of a defective shock absorber?
A shock absorber is supposed to absorb shocks, but not simply act like a spring, otherwise it would act like a catapult.
If the shock absorber comes up too fast after compression, jams, squeaks or smears oil (oil leak), it must be repaired or replaced.
For motocross machines with high-end shock absorbers that are very expensive, there are repair kits for shock absorbers. However, you will need some technical know-how and special tools to do these repairs.
For scooters and 50cc motor cycles, it's often easier to buy inexpensive new shock absor bers to do a complete replacement like a car.
Simple, adjustable, Racing
Gas pressure or hydraulic, simple shock or complex system - there are many different types of shock absorbers.
On the one hand, spring travel is important, which allows for more or less intensive use, and there are also different options for adjusting the shock depending on the model.
There are simple models like most original shock absorbers on scooters. Shock absorbers can also have different adjustment options that allow the handling to be adapted to the rider, use and conditions. These include shocks with adjustable spring preload, high-low shocks with adjustable compression for low and high speeds, and shocks with adjustable rebound like the ones on motocross bikes.
Racing shock absorbers are the most technically advanced models, they have all the above adjustment options, are made of particularly high-quality materials and often have a special finish (eg, the popular "Kashima coating").
