Mountain Bike Rear Shock

Click here to see our selection of Mountain Bike Rear Shock.

The mountain bike rear shock is a relatively new idea in cycling. Originally, mountain bikes were designed much like a typical road bike, with no suspension system at all. The invention of the front fork-suspension system became extremely popular 15-20 years ago, which eventually led to the full-suspension mountain bike.

The mountain bike rear shock continues what was started by the front fork-shock absorber. Mountain biking tends to create more jolts and shakes than does road cycling, which is why the suspension system has become so popular. With a rear shock, the bumpy trails become more easily managed.

The mountain bike rear shock has revolutionized the industry. While “hard tails” are still popular bikes for many applications, the full-suspension mountain bike is king of the trails. This is especially true for the downhill enthusiast.
