Mountain Bike Rear Shocks

Upgrading your rear shock is one of the highest-impact changes you can make to a mountain bike. The shock controls how your bike tracks the ground, how it handles square-edged hits, and how much traction you have in corners. Getting it right -- the right shock for your frame, your riding style, and your terrain -- makes a huge difference. We stock the full range from every brand worth running and have more shock content than probably anyone in the industry.

Air Shock or Coil Shock?

This is the first decision to make. Air shocks are lighter, more adjustable, and work great across a wide range of bikes and riding styles -- they're the right call for most trail riders. Coil shocks give you a super smooth, linear feel with incredible small bump sensitivity and traction that a lot of riders absolutely love once they try it. We did a full breakdown on air vs coil rear shocks with Cane Creek that covers the real differences in feel and performance. Also worth reading: our step-by-step guide to upgrading your rear shock -- one of our most-read articles and the best place to start if you're new to this.

Fox Rear Shocks

Fox makes the most popular rear shocks we sell. The Float DPS is the trail workhorse -- light, reliable, and works great on most modern trail bikes. The Float X2 steps up for enduro and aggressive trail riding with more adjustability and a more robust damper -- we have a full Fox Float X2 rider review and an ultimate Fox DPX2 review guide. The DHX2 is Fox's coil shock -- one of the best coil shocks on the market for enduro and DH.

RockShox Rear Shocks

RockShox is the other dominant brand. The Super Deluxe is their flagship trail and enduro air shock -- we have multiple Super Deluxe rider reviews covering real-world performance. The Super Deluxe Coil is the coil version and has become extremely popular with enduro riders who want that plush coil feel.

Boutique Brands

If you want to go beyond Fox and RockShox, Ohlins makes some of the most refined shocks on the market -- the TTX22M is exceptional. Push Industries makes the ElevenSix coil shock which has a cult following for its tunability and performance -- we did a full ElevenSix review and a Push SV8 long-term review. Cane Creek, MRP, and DVO round out the lineup for riders who want something different.

Sizing & Setup

Shock sizing is one of the most common sources of confusion -- metric sizing has a lot of variations and not every shock fits every frame. Once you have the right shock, our MTB suspension setup guide covering sag, compression, and rebound is the best resource for getting it dialed. Any questions on sizing, mounting hardware, or what shock fits your specific frame, reach out -- we sort this out every day.
