Although most full suspension MTBs are robust & reliable, there are a number of components that should be regularly checked and replaced. Shock bushes play a vital role in absorbing any shock from bumpy terrain, as well as reducing the amount of stress on other parts of your bike. Over time, it’s likely that the OEM fitted shock bushes of your bike will wear and require replacement – giving you the perfect opportunity to upgrade them with BETD’s strong shock bushes, made from high grade stainless steel.

How Do I Know if Shock Bushes Need Replacing?

If your mountain bike requires replacement shock bushes, you are likely to notice a few obvious signs whilst cycling. The first indication is an irritating knocking type noise, which comes from the shock rattling on its mount. Additionally, there may be a distinct loosening within your suspension. This can be observed by feeling the shock eyelets of your bike – any movement will indicate that it should be replaced.
