RockShox Rear Shock Service Kit

RockShox recommends performing a service every 50 to 200 hours of riding, depending on your local trail conditions and riding style. If you ride in muddy or dusty environments, you should aim for the shorter end of that interval to prevent premature wear.

This kit is designed for specific RockShox generations, including ThruShaft 2021-2024, Nude/Bold 2022+, and Deluxe/Super Deluxe models from 2017 onwards. Always check your shock's serial number or model year against the compatibility list before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

This kit contains the essential seals and internal components required for a standard air can service and refresh. It does not include specialized suspension fluids or damper-specific tools, which you will need to source separately.

Yes, if you have basic mechanical skills and the correct tools, you can perform this service yourself. However, ensure you have access to the official RockShox service manual for your specific shock model, as the internal procedures can be precise and require specific torque settings.

You should consider a service if you notice a loss of small-bump sensitivity, increased friction or 'stiction' in the stroke, or if the shock feels inconsistent compared to when it was new. Any visible oil weeping around the seals is also a clear indicator that it is time for a refresh.
