Applicable Bicycle Spring Shock Absorber Aluminium 190-240mm 550lb for Mountain and All-Terrain Bikes

This aluminium alloy spring shock absorber is built for mountain and all-terrain bicycles where consistent damping is required on uneven surfaces. With five length options from 190mm to 240mm and corresponding travel between 47.5mm and 73.5mm, it fits a range of frame geometries and riding preferences. The 550-pound spring rating provides substantial load capacity for off-road use, while rebound, compression, preload and height adjustments allow riders to dial in the behaviour without replacing the entire suspension.

Features and Construction

The shock absorber uses an aluminium alloy main body, which keeps weight low without sacrificing the rigidity needed for rough terrain. All moving parts are designed for simple adjustment using standard tools.

Material and Build

Aluminium alloy is used for the main chassis and spring housing, offering a good balance of strength and weight saving. The finish is available in red or black anodised colours, which also provide surface protection against corrosion.

Size and Practical Fit

Length options of 190, 200, 210, 220, and 240mm give you flexibility to match different rear suspension designs. Each length comes with a matched travel range: 47.5, 52.5, 58.5, 63.5, or 73.5mm, so the shock works within its intended stroke without bottoming out prematurely.

Uses and Placement

This spring shock absorber is intended for bicycles that encounter uneven trails, gravel paths, forest tracks and similar off-road conditions. It is specified for mountain bikes, all-terrain bicycles, and cross-country bikes.

Event or Professional Use

For riders who compete in off-road events or regularly tackle technical descents, the adjustable rebound and compression settings allow rapid tuning for different track conditions. The 550lb spring rate suits heavier payloads or aggressive riding where additional support is needed.

Everyday Home Use

For recreational mountain bikers or commuters who ride on unpaved paths, the preload adjustment helps adapt the shock to rider weight and cargo loads. The solid spring design requires less frequent servicing than air springs, making it a low-maintenance option for regular use.

Benefits and Buying Value

The shock absorber offers direct adjustability for rebound, compression, preload, and ride height, all via accessible controls. This lets you customise the suspension behaviour without expensive specialised tools.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Aluminium construction resists rust, and the sealed internal damping cartridge (where fitted) reduces the need for frequent oil changes. The 550lb spring maintains its rate well over time, so the shock remains effective ride after ride.

Why Choose This Product

If you need a direct-replacement or upgrade spring shock for a mountain or all-terrain bike, this unit provides multiple adjustment points and a range of length/travel combinations. The aluminium body keeps weight reasonable, while the 550lb rating ensures it can handle demanding loads.
