Shock Absorber - a complete monotube (single-tube) gas-charged damper for the suspension.

It damps suspension movement by forcing hydraulic fluid through internal valving, controlling spring oscillation to keep the tyre in contact with the road and steady body movement. The monotube design uses a single pressure tube with the gas charge separated from the oil by a floating piston. Supplied as a complete assembled unit.

Frequently asked questions

What does this monotube shock absorber do?
This monotube shock absorber damps suspension movement by forcing hydraulic fluid through internal valving, controlling spring oscillation to keep the tyre in contact with the road. The monotube design uses a single pressure tube with the gas charge separated from the oil by a floating piston. It's supplied as a complete assembled unit.
What's the difference between a monotube and twin-tube shock?
A monotube shock uses a single pressure tube with a floating piston separating the gas and oil, while a twin-tube runs oil between an inner and outer tube. Monotube dampers typically cool better and give more consistent damping under hard use. This item is the monotube type, made by BWI.
Why do shock absorbers fail?
Shock absorbers typically wear out as the internal valving and seals degrade, letting fluid bypass or leak past the piston. Signs usually include a bouncy or floaty ride, nose-dive under braking, uneven tyre wear and reduced stability. A leaking damper body is a common giveaway.
