Description
Best for: restoring small-bump sensitivity, improving mid-stroke support, and keeping air shocks running smoothly.
Air rear shocks rely on clean seals and fresh lubrication to perform correctly. Over time, dirt and moisture work their way into the air can, increasing friction and reducing suspension performance — even if the shock still “works.”
This service refreshes the air can portion of your rear shock, improving feel and reliability without a full damper rebuild.
