Default NEW SHOCKS

my son has a alpha sports 50cc mini. it has factory shocks and he looks like he is getting beat to death while riding through trails. is there a decent after market shocks to improve his bouncy ride? he doesnt race,mostly trail riding. ive already played around with tire pressures but that only helped so much. There has to be better shocks out there. maybe he needs racing shocks. any suggestions? thanks

htloi,

Works, Elks, PEP and other shock specialist companies may be able to help. When ordering shocks from them, you need the rider weight and specific your riding conditions, so they tune the shocks behavier. Thus, getting the best performance for your unique conditions. Because of this, these shocks are very expensive. I've heard that Works Shocks are the least expensive.

As a suggestion, you could take the measurements of your current shock(s) and compare against other 50cc and 90cc brands. Sometimes, you may get lucky and find another shock that not only bolts directly on, but is better then your current 50cc shock. More lbs and more movement. Stock shocks from a different brand are much less expensive then high performance shocks.

Hope this helps too.
