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 the fit and setup right matters as much as the model you choose. Start with your frame's shock requirements, then compare the available options.

Air Shock or Coil Shock?

First confirm which shock types your frame manufacturer approves. Air pressure sets spring support in an air shock; a coil shock needs the appropriate spring rate. Damper adjustments and frame clearance vary by model, so a matching eye-to-eye length alone does not establish compatibility. 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 if you are working through sizing and fit.

Fox Rear Shocks

Fox offers a range of rear shocks, including FLOAT DPS models in this collection. Choose the size and mounting configuration approved for your frame. The Float X2 is another model to compare. We have a Fox Float X2 rider review and an ultimate Fox DPX2 review guide. The reviews cover particular generations; use the current product listing for specifications.

RockShox Rear Shocks

RockShox offers options including the Super Deluxe. We have Super Deluxe rider reviews covering real-world performance. If you are considering a coil shock, confirm frame clearance, spring requirements and mounting hardware before ordering.

Boutique Brands

If you want to go beyond Fox and RockShox, Ohlins is another brand to compare. Our TTX22M review covers that model. Push Industries is another option for riders researching a shock upgrade. We have an 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

Match eye-to-eye length, stroke, mounting style and hardware to your frame manufacturer's requirements. Check shock-body clearance and the recommended tune as well. 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.
