Motorcycle shock absorbers for optimal driving behavior

Motorcycle shock absorbers are among the spare parts that should be replaced at regular intervals. After all, the shock absorbers or suspension strut serve to ensure safe driving pleasure.

What is the function of a shock absorber?

Motorcycle shock absorbers slow down the vibrations that result from the motorcycle suspension or the motorcycle mass. They thus compensate for unevenness on the road, such as potholes, speed bumps or bumps. At the same time, they ensure good cornering behavior and are also essential for keeping a short braking distance. Shock absorbers are therefore crucial for driving comfort. With good motorcycle shock absorbers, the driver feels less unevenness on the road. This reduction means that the vehicle sits more steadily on the road and can be better controlled.

How do you know if your motorcycle shock absorber is broken?

Wear and tear is quite normal for motorcycle shock absorbers. However, the wear can result in the shock absorber no longer fulfilling its function at some point. The chassis becomes unstable and the rider's safety is at risk. Since wear and tear is a gradual process, the defective or worn shock absorber is not immediately recognizable. Many drivers get used to the new driving behavior over time.

This makes it all the more important to regularly check your motorcycle's shock absorbers. This is the only way to tell whether or not the vibrations of the spring are being sufficiently dampened. Regularly checking the suspension is also necessary to keep the risk of accidents as low as possible. After all, the wrong setting can also lead to motorcycle instability in the long term.

An important tip for detecting defective shock absorbers is to take a look at the tire tread. If the tread shows uneven wear, the likelihood of defective shock absorbers is quite high. If you notice a defect in the rear shocks of your motorcycle, you should urgently install new dampers. Defective or incorrectly adjusted dampers can increase braking distance and cause the tires to lose contact with the ground during emergency braking.

Regularly checking your shock absorbers is therefore important to ensure your safety on the roads. If necessary, you can have your motorcycle shock absorber adjusted instead of replacing it. We also recommend that you regularly check other components, such as the exhaust system, lighting system and radiator. Otherwise, safety risks can quickly arise.

Do shock absorbers require registration?

As a rule, shock absorbers do not require registration if their functional dimensions correspond to those of standard components. However, this only applies if no lowering springs are installed in the new shock absorbers. These are subject to registration and must be approved after installation. If you want to replace the shock absorber and the strut, you have to have the conversion approved by the TÜV.

Perfectly equipped with Craftride suspension

Based on several years of experience in the motorcycle accessories industry, shock absorber systems have been developed by manufacturers such as Craftride and Zaddox, which are characterized by their quality, safety and an optimal price. For example, if you want to replace your defective shock absorbers with new universal shock absorbers on your motorcycle, Craftride universal suspension is the right choice for you.

Since the size and length of the shock absorbers depends on your motorcycle and may vary depending on the model, you should always make sure that they are compatible with your motorcycle. The maximum load capacity of a shock absorber should also be taken into account. This is made up of the bike, the fuel tank, the weight of the driver and any additional luggage.

Craftride and Zaddox offer you a wide selection of shock absorbers for your motorcycle. You can choose between different colors and lengths to visually match the new shock absorbers to your bike. The new shock absorbers can give your vehicle a cool custom look or enhance the look of your bike.
