Mountain Bike Rear Shocks

Mountain bike rear shocks have come a long way, and there are a ton of great options right now from both the big brands and some seriously impressive smaller ones. RockShox and Fox dominate the market for good reason, but brands like Ohlins, Cane Creek, Push Industries, MRP, and DVO are making some really killer stuff too.

Air Shock or Coil Shock?

One of the first decisions you'll need to make is whether you want an air shock or a coil shock. Air shocks are lighter, more adjustable, and work great on a wide range of bikes and riding styles. Coil shocks give you that super smooth, linear feel with incredible small bump sensitivity and traction that a lot of riders absolutely love once they try it. We have a full breakdown on how to upgrade your rear shock if you want to go deep on that before buying, plus an ultimate suspension service guide to keep everything running right once you've got it dialed.

Our Favorite Rear Shocks Right Now

The RockShox Super Deluxe and Fox Float DPS are the two most popular trail shocks we sell. Step up to the Fox Float X2 or RockShox Vivid for more aggressive enduro riding -- we did a full Fox Float X2 vs DPX2 comparison that breaks down exactly who each shock is for. On the coil side, the RockShox Super Deluxe Coil with MegNeg air can and the Fox DHX2 are the ones we recommend most. For riders who want to go boutique, the Push Industries ElevenSix and Ohlins TTX22M are both exceptional.

Shock Sizing and Parts

Shock sizing can get confusing fast -- metric sizing has a lot of variations and not every shock fits every frame. We put together an MTB suspension setup guide covering sag, compression, and rebound that's worth reading regardless of which shock you run. Beyond complete shocks, we stock a full range of parts and service items -- volume spacers, bottomless tokens, air springs, damper upgrades, and service kits for RockShox and Fox. Any questions on sizing, mounting hardware, or what shock fits your specific frame, reach out. We sort this out every day.
