RX135 - Rear suspension - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

donarun · 04-03-2009, 10:41 AM

Guys, the rear shox in my RX is broken, looking to replace them. I feel the stock shox (gabriel/escorts) are bit hard and you really dont feel any cushioning effect. I'm looking for a shox which would give a smooth & cushioned ride. I consulted with 2 mech's, one of'em suggested the nitrox shox which comes in the new discoverer and the other suggested rtr shox.

Has anyone tried these on RX's before ? Any other suggested choice apart from these ? One other thing, would it require any modification to fit these new type shox ?

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

Ive seen in many RX ---- the Dual Spring Shocks of that of Discover 125cc Model......

It cops with the Bike nice and gives a Good Absorbence.........

You can fit those dual SNS shocks found in most entry level bajaj bikes. think its a straight fit.No mod needed.

@donarun
i suggest you go for gabriel/escorts shox only for the better ride quality.they are the best designed shox for rx series.

btw i have seen people go for sns suspensions without any modifications and switch back to stock shox.

get Endurance shocks...they are a direct fit and offer a comfy ride !!

fix the orginal shox (escorts or gabriel) , as you need to stick to the original bikes ride height so that the handling is not affected

nitrox from heavy bikes like pulsar,rtr (weighing >140 kg) etc will make the rear hard which will end up making the front wander. RX is a 98 kg bike

including me

.. stay away from SNS.. they work like pure crap

on an RX.. its better to stick with OE shox

After lot of delibration i decided to go with the OE shox (gabriel). The pair costed be 1080 with 6 months warranty. The ride comfort is still short of the 4S bikes, maybe the RX can never match 4S bikes interms of ride comfort.

Thank u guys for all your suggestions.

what modifications do you think are required ?? they are a direct fit. plug and play, so to speak. i changed to SNS rear suspension for my rx-135 very recently, and am very happy with it. ride quality is greatly improved.
