Sirris R38 Shock: E Ride Pro SS 3.0
- Lead Time: Ships in 5 days
The Sirris R38 Rear Shock upgrade brings true motocross-inspired suspension technology to the E Ride Pro SS 3.0. Based on the proven Sirris R46 platform, the R38 features oversized internal architecture, massive oil flow, and an advanced 2-Stage Compression (2SC) damping system for exceptional control, consistency, and durability on aggressive trails, jumps, and high-speed terrain.
Unlike typical mountain bike-based e-moto shocks, the R38 Shock is engineered specifically for the demands of lightweight electric dirt bikes. Independent high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment, rebound adjustment, and spring preload allow riders to fine-tune suspension performance for any riding style or terrain.
Features
- Designed specifically for the E Ride Pro SS 3.0
- Moto-inspired R46 internal architecture in a compact chassis
- Independent high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment (2SC)
- Tool-free rebound adjustment and spring preload adjustment
- High-flow 38mm piston for consistent damping and reduced fade
- Large 16mm hollow hard-chromed shaft for maximum strength
- Type III hard anodized aluminum body with ACME threads
- CMX (Compact Motocross Tune) optimized for aggressive off-road riding
- Pairs perfectly with the Sirris F43 CMX Fork: E Ride Pro SS 3.0
