Description
So, you've tried every mountain bike shock under the sun and they just aren't cutting it, why is that?
Our EBMX / YSS collaboration shock has been tuned specifically for the SurRon Light Bee kinematics by the best in the business.
The fact is, it's all in the oil..... the physical size of a shock and how much oil it holds matters! As soon as things get hot, oil changes viscosity and cavitation occurs, this has a dramatic effect on both compression and rebound.
The bigger the shock the better the performance, especially if you ride hard for long periods, but quality dampening and spring rates matter too, that's why we went to the people at YSS. With EBMX driving the requirements we believe YSS have developed the best performing shock you can match to your SurRon Light Bee.
This kit comes with the V1 triangle which is an upgraded triangle specifically designed for this shock and retains the OEM fitment. V2 linkages extend to the outside of the frame for more strength but not everyone likes how they extend outside of the frame.

Key Product Info: EBMX Custom Rear Linkage and Triangle for Custom Shock Only
Included with all EBMX Custom Shocks purchased.
The EBMX shock is longer than the OEM shock and is not the same size eye to eye. This custom Rear Linkage and Triangle is set up to bring the EBMX shock in line with the travel of the stock shock, while reinforcing the structure of your bike. Works very well with the upgraded EBMX Swing arm, remember to check the table below for spring weight if using the EBMX swing arm as there is more leverage with the longer swingarm.
EBMX Shock Spring Sizing Chart
This table is to be used for determining the correct spring rate for riders using the EBMX rear shock, linkage and triangle. There are two different configurations depending on if you are using the stock swing arm or the EBMX extended Swing arm.
When using the stock swing arm, EBMX shock, EBMX linkage and triangle the rear wheel travel is 205mm.
When using the EBMX extended swing arm with EBMX shock, EBMX linkage and triangle the rear wheel travel is 220mm.
