120 ads for rear shocks, from private sellers and shops nationwide. Typical price: £143.
The rear shock makes the difference between a full-suspension bike that pedals efficiently and one that bobs with every pedal stroke. Here you'll find air shocks, lighter and adjustable by pressure, and coil shocks, more sensitive and more consistent on long descents, for XC, trail, enduro and downhill.
On a used shock, the shaft should be shiny, free of scratches and oil marks, and there should be no noises under compression. Fox and RockShox have the most ads on Biklo, followed by EXT, DVO and Öhlins. Ask when the air can and damper were last serviced and whether the bushings are included.
Most rear shocks ads are priced between £79 and £214; the typical price is £143.
