Thanks so much for the video! I'm over 300lbs and was looking into getting a Sur Ron and replacing the stock suspension. You answered so many of my questions. Thanks again!
Thank you, good information!
Very helpful, very nice!!! 🚲
Excellent video. Soo glad I watched it before ordering a shock I can't use.
Was looking into a DNM air shock if I could fit it. They have good reviews.
Cheers brother
Nice tight fit on those bushings.
Better solution could be modding the fastace shock, its got a nice big reservoir which means you can fine-tune the air pressure to make it more progressive. Also unlike dnm rcp2s (which i had btw) the rebound setting is just right, 4/8 is what i am currently using, while dnm i had to use 23/24 lol. Which means fastace could possibly take oil of less viscousity, to make it more plush and without loosing the rebound. Fastace actually make really good budget parts for mx/pitbikes, yea they dont officially sell spare parts, (due to low price of their products, there is no market for this, ppl just tend to replace the whole thing). But these are coil shocks, you can run them with stock parts, just do the oil change after every 100 hours. Unlike air shocks where you need to replace the seals and stuff.
People should know that any new fox shock or fork that you buy, once you put it on your Sur Ron, the warranty is immediately voided. If you don't believe me check with FOX. Fox shocks are made for MTB and not a small MC
I've the same on thr rear. I'm running boxxer fronts also with custom spring
Thanku
Cool ..
NICE
Thanks!
Niceee
Dudde can send, the size of bushing you Made?
You absoloutley dont have to take off anything other than the upper and lower bolts that hold the shock in...just put the bike up and support on the crush plate...take off nut on lower shock and while holding the rear tire, move it a little and the bolt will come out with very little effort, then do the top and your done.
I found the exact same shock in the same size but I can’t find any springs heavier than 400lb, upsetting
holy shit you are smart!!! lathing your own pieces! do you know if the fox shock you were talking about would be plug and play? or would you need to lath special parts for that as well. also do you happen to know the exact name of that fox shock you were talking about? also do you happen to know where you might find a "fox 550 x 3.5 spring" that i saw you talking about in another comment, i cant seem to find one on the internet, i kinda wanna do this as a cheaper option and easier install. so sorry for all the questions. Liked and Subbed!
The shock I mentioned is Fox dhx rc2, I am almost 100% sure it won't be plug and play. Stock surron shock has some bizarre sizes. It seems like Luna cycle is all sold out on the 550 spring :(
I only weigh 145 on a good day... I'm thinking I'll prob be good with stock suspension... although I'd be lieing if I said I wasn't considering upgrading everything and I don't even have the bike yet... you seen the new ext shock I think it is with some new addition that prevents bottoming out... like the high end and middle is springy but then the end is much more firm preventing bottom g out. Looks nice but it's also 1150 and on pre order lol arghhhhh
My EXT Arma MX will be arriving soon! Will let you know how it performs!
안녕하십니까 영상 잘봤습니다
혹시 폭스 267 dhx2 모델도 영상처럼 어댑터를 끼워야 장착이 가능할까요??
그리고 스프링 350이나 400도 충분하다고 들었는데 500으로가야할까요??
제가 댓글 확인을 못했네요!
아답터 껴야하고 체중에 따라 스프링은 다르지만 저는 350, 400, 450 모두 너무 무르다고 생각합니다. 제가 지금 산악 자전거에 450쓰고 있습니다.
Hey! Thanks again for this informative video. I was actually hesitating for this rear shock myself. The only one I've found I has a low comp setting… So for the Surron I was wondering whether it'd be a good fit.
So any idea what your shock factory setting is?
@@MTO_Brothers I bought an R2C Vivid LOW tune and it seems to work fine. Per the Rockshox chart the low tune is for suspension ratios lower than 2.5:1. The Sur Ron is 2.285:1 (Rear wheel travel divided by shock stroke).
I have read the Rockshox is also tune-able if needed. It helped to make up my mind. Just be aware there may be interference issues with the bottom of the coil spring and the rocker link. the Vivid/Kage spring diameter is really big.
@@ow-my-achilles1106 Thanks a lot man for this very detailed explanation.
So does it touch towards the end of compression?
@@MTO_Brothers I couldn't install my shock into the linkage. It was "just" a little too large. I cut some small clearance into the link (machine shop). Modifying a spring at the flat end seems like I would be creating a stress that could crack. No problems so far, I like how it rides.
@@ow-my-achilles1106 Just received mine! I'll be giving it a try shortly 🙌
What are those custom made pieces called
Change thé ratio of the linkage to make it stiffer

Would a 265mm fit? - looking at a FOX DHX RC2 BOOSTVALVE COIL REAR SHOCK 265MM EYE TO EYE 225X3.80 SPRING MTB DH and wondering if it will fit, obviously will upgrade the spring to 500
From what I know any shock size will fit, but the travel will be affected. 265 and 267 are only 2mm difference so I would think it would be fine?
do you reckon I would get away with 241x76 rear shock or is the travel to short?
To be honest you can put whatever size shock you want, but that just means shorter travel and slightly lower stance. I put a 240mm shock + adapter on my dad's surron and it's fine, except on big jumps. There you notice the shorter travel
Ok its really hard to find 267mm this days :( and they discontinue i think, some ideas for making shorter shocks to fit in surron,like making some bracket or something....
any shorter shock would fit, but that just means you lose travel
@@ridefarm5528 again thanks for the replies and keep going with your sur-ron content :)
@Ride Farm. Do you still have the measurements for the eyelet bushings? Have this shock incoming.
The spacing for the Surron shock mount was 24mm and the bolt hole was 8mm of diameter
@@ridefarm5528 thanks for answering so quickly. I probably used the wrong terminology / the bushing diameters. When looking at the reference image below, the measurements for A, B, E and D. www.linngear.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/QD-bushing-drawing.png
@@flyingfox8586 i don't have the measure ments right now but when i get the chance to measure them i'll let you know
other than the different spring rate, do you think the rockshox is a big improvement over the fastace? are you having "spiking" or harshness w/ the fastace?
Compared to the rockshox, fastace doesn't do much damping in highspeed compression. I think the lowspeed compression works pretty good though. So hitting the choppy stuff in high speed, fast ace just blows through the travel and then spits you out in rebound.
@@ridefarm5528 thanks for the reply! do you have experience w/ DNM shocks? do you think the fastace is better than DNM?
@@rondg2 I don't have experience with DNM shocks, but I'm sure there is a reason nobody in the mountain biking world uses DNM components.
@@ridefarm5528 DNM does not move LOL. but they're also fitted on some batches of surron. so i'm wondering which one is better
@@rondg2 Biggest problem I see with DNM and Fastace is their serviceability. All shocks need to be serviced at least once a year if you ride regularly, and it's not like you can walk into your local shop and get them serviced.
Can we buy only spring?
So..is any shock at all fit whiteout any extra stuff to be made or buy?
Not that I know of
@@ridefarm5528 Thanks for the replys :)
I think I looked at this shock on eBay lol. It was for sale for a while I didn't want to rebuild it though
i was worried that it might have issues beyond just simple rebuild. It worked out well tho :)
if you just wanted to buy the 550lb spring for the factory dnm shock. where would you get one that is a direct fit and can you provide a link?
lunacycle.com/dnm-rear-shock-spring-550-lbs-for-sur-ron/
unfortunately sold out, but you can look up fox 550 x 3.5 spring. that fits as well.
@@ridefarm5528 No it won't... the DNM spring requirement is 38MM and the FOX spring is 35mm ID.
@@lonniedomnitz1720 That is incorrect information. The DNM & FOX spring is 35mm ID. The FastAce & Rockshox are 38mm ID . The KKE is 36mm ID.
What are your thoughts on using a fox 38 (E) on the Surron instead of the fox 40
Double crown is always better than a single crown in my opinion.
@@ridefarm5528 would you say the stock surron fork would be better/ not worth replacing with a fox 38 (e)?
@@daniel_f1nk 38’s damping is far superior but what’s the reason you want to put a single crown on something this heavy?
@@ridefarm5528 my main concern is pricing honestly, and can’t seem to find any second hand fox 40’s in Canada
@@daniel_f1nk we get our forks from pinkbike.com used section. Just bought another one for someone last week.
Would a 600 3.0 fit??
I don’t think so

Why not just change the spring?
The stock shock has two issues: 1. wrong spring rate 2. Terrible dampening performance.
You could just change the spring but you would still be stuck with terrible dampening. However, if you find the stock damper good enough, just the spring change would suffice.
I really what to get that type of bike and can you make a video on how to get 100sub it is hard
I'm no expert in this youtube world haha
why don't just change the spring and take 700 lbs one? its more simply?
As I mentioned, the stock shock just isn’t up to the standard. The biggest flaw of the stock shock is that they don’t sell service kits.
any way you would make me a set of that hardware?
Did you ever find mounting hardware for the RockShox r2c and surron? It seems like this is a popular shock for the surron so people must be using something?
these parts is expensive in the Phillipines can you make a build using yamaha or a kawasaki parts
Yamaha and kawasaki parts are expensive in my country
Are u selling these ??
Nope
I have a dhxr c2 for sale its brand new old stock
