Whether you’re aggressively carving corners, riding long distances, or simply looking to eliminate the harsh and unstable feel of factory suspension, the Nowaskey reservoir shock delivers the control, comfort, and confidence serious riders expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in both 12.5” and 13.5” lengths, the Nowaskey reservoir shock dramatically improves handling, chassis stability, traction feel, and overall ride quality while giving riders a massive range of tuning capability through precision rebound and compression adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12.5” version maintains near-stock ride height while significantly improving suspension performance.
