Shock Absorber front Stage6 R/T Limited Edition Piaggio Zip SP / Vespa
Description
Stage6 R/T Shock Absorber Piaggio Zip and Vespa – Limited Edition
Stunning Limited Edition of the high-end racing shock absorber for Piaggio Zip SP1/SP2 and Vespa by Stage6 R/T. Comes with H/L valve for high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment.
This high-tech suspension unit was further refined and improved in collaboration with top European race riders. The shock can be precisely tuned to suit the rider’s individual style and preferences, delivering a responsive setup that maintains optimal traction even under extreme conditions.
Limited Edition Upgrade for Stage6 R/T Upside Down shock
The Limited Edition shock absorbers come equipped with an exclusive H/L compression valve. This allows you to adjust low-speed damping for everyday riding and high-speed damping for quick, sharp bumps or heavy braking – each independently. By combining both damping types, the rider can perfectly adapt the suspension to various riding conditions.
Outer screw adjusts high-speed compression
Inner screw adjusts low-speed compression
Bonus: We also offer the H/L valve as a spare part so you can upgrade your old Stage6 R/T shock absorber.
The shock absorber also got a visual upgrade. For this exclusive piece, we went with a cool all-black and orange color combo – a real eye-catcher!
Stage6 R/T Shock Features
The Stage6 R/T shock, here as a Limited Edition, is a hydraulic gas-pressure shock with external reservoir – the type typically used in high-end tuning / racing. To adapt the suspension to riding style, application, and track conditions, the shock offers the following settings:
Preload (spring base)
Compression (H/L valve)
Rebound (black dial)
These adjustments allow the shock to be precisely tuned to the rider’s weight and offer fine control over both compression (inward stroke) and rebound (outward stroke).
Stage6 R/T High-End Racing Shock – Tips & Notes
For even more tuning options, we offer springs in various stiffness levels as spare parts.
Don’t forget to order a shock silentblock (OE-PIA216209) to ensure the best possible performance.
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").
