RockShox Rear Shock Air Can Service Kit

RockShox recommends performing an air can service every 50 hours of ride time. If you ride in particularly muddy, dusty, or wet conditions, you may want to service it more frequently to prevent premature wear.

This specific kit is designed for newer models, including ThruShaft (2021-2024), Nude/Bold (2022+), and Deluxe/Super Deluxe (2023+ Generation-C). It is not compatible with older shocks, so please verify your specific shock model and generation before purchasing.

While the kit includes the necessary seals and components, you will typically need standard shop tools like a shock pump, strap wrench, and suspension-specific grease to complete the service properly. Refer to the official RockShox service manual for your specific shock model to see the full tool list.

Common indicators include a loss of air pressure, a noticeable 'stiction' or harshness in the suspension travel, or oil weeping from the shock seals. If your shock feels less supple than it used to, it is likely time for a service.

No, this is specifically an air can service kit. It focuses on the seals and components required to maintain the air spring portion of your shock, not the damper or internal hydraulic systems.
