Suspension Service

Rebuild. Re-valve. Modify.

Shock work in progress at the MEC-CON shop

Service that makes your suspension work

Not every customer needs a full custom build. A lot of riders just need their existing suspension actually doing what it’s supposed to do.

That’s where service comes in. Bring us your shocks, tell us how they’re behaving and how they should behave, and we’ll get them right.

We don’t ship a part we wouldn’t put under our own bike.

What we service

Shock rebuilds

Full teardown, fresh seals and oil, performance dialed back to factory spec or better. The right call when your shocks feel worn out — fade after thirty minutes, soft on bigger hits, blowing through travel.

Re-valves

Change the damping curve to match what you actually ride. Different rider, different terrain, different valving. The right call when the suspension never felt right for your weight, discipline, or terrain.

Modifications

When rebuild and re-valve aren’t enough. Custom internals, custom springs, custom answers. The right call when stock simply can’t get you where you need to be.

Rebuild vs. re-valve — what’s the difference?

A rebuild restores your shock to its design spec. A re-valve changes the spec.

If your suspension feels worn out — fade after thirty minutes, soft on bigger hits, blowing through travel — that’s usually a rebuild. If it never felt right for your weight, your discipline, or the terrain you ride — that’s a re-valve.

What riders are saying

“I’m usually an OEM guy and didn’t know what to expect, but I’m amazed at the difference just changing the swingarm made. The bike feels like it’s on rails. Over 50 hours in on the swingarm now and not one issue.”— Corey Blakesley, sand rider
