CB500X LEVEL 1 SHOCK (2022+)

LEVEL 1 Shock - STANDARD TRAVEL/SEAT HEIGHT rear suspension upgrade (suitable for CB500X 2022-on model years)

Developed in conjunction with our suspension partners TracTive Suspension in the Netherlands, this high-quality aluminium replacement shock features adjustable damping and a choice of spring rates to suit a wide range of rider/luggage weights and applications.

Shock body features an easily accessible combined damping adjuster (at a fixed ratio of 80% Rebound and 20% Compression), with 24 clicks of adjustment.

Choice of 3 spring rates at the point of purchase: 100 N/mm, 110 N/mm (standard), and 120 N/mm.

Along with traditional manual preload adjustment, our standard LEVEL 1 shock can also be upgraded with a dedicated Remote Hydraulic Preload Adjuster, allowing quick and easy adjustment of the spring preload a further +/-10mm to compensate for additional loads such as luggage or a passenger.

Supplied with our own cnc machined billet linkage, complete with needle roller bearings fitted, and hardened shock mounting bush.

Note. This is the REAR SHOCK ONLY, if you require a complete standard travel front & rear upgrade, please also add the LEVEL 1 Fork Kit (2022-on) to your cart.

OPTIONAL HYDRAULIC PRELOAD ADJUSTER (for CB500X LEVEL 1 & LEVEL 2 rear shocks).

Our Hydraulic Preload Adjuster is designed for riders that want quick, easy adjustment of spring preload. It allows the preload to be adjusted over a range of +/-10mm with the simple turning of a knob on the Remote handle, which is located conveniently alongside the left hand of the engine, just below the fuel tank. Approximately 20 turns will achieve the full movement of the preload piston travel, and the knob has a 'click' every half-turn to aid setting.
 

Quick tool-less preload adjustment is much preferred by those riders who wish to alter the preload/rear sag setting on a regular basis - typically when carrying extra luggage or a passenger, or when going from street to off-road travelling.

Supplied ready assembled on your shock together with the correct length/rate spring selected at the point of purchase.
