For your viewing pleasure, some old-school Fox shocks. These were all serviced by Shockcraft in the last week. 4 minutes one take with a quick run-down of each.

Fox Vanilla X. Fox Float L Trunnion, Float RL Trunnion, Fox RP23 and Fox CTD Evo shocks.

Despite their age we still service all of them. Air seals, oil seals and in many cases shock bodies and shafts are still available. Because everyone loves to keep their classics rolling. Even wall ornaments need to be oil tight!

Ladies and Gentlemen. We have a unicorn. Possibly the only Fox CTD compression damper that is still in one piece at 12 years old!

These were pressed together at the factory and that grunty little coil spring spends it's whole time trying to push the light alloy piston back off it's shaft. This is the first one we've seen in about 8 years that is still together. It hasn't been ridden much at all.

If they come apart the compression adjuster stops working and gets pulled down against the fork crown. The ones that come apart. Sometimes we can bond them back together, sometimes the piston is broken and munched everything. Then We replace them with FIT dampers. Which also worked better and stay in one piece.

Does your Ohlins TTX22 have a blue or gold base-valve? Here's how the shock works and what the difference is.
One shot unscripted. Hit us with any questions.

Ohlins international stock is live. Now you can see, for every Ohlins part, if it's in stock with us, with the NZ warehouse or overseas.
Because being informed is awesome for everyone. Whether you need a spring, axle, service kit or shock we have you covered.

Live supplier stock for everything else is in the works.

Who doesn't love Formula Student racing? Engineering students getting to build and rip around in their own little race cars. These guys use MTB suspension, on this one Fox Float X2 shocks on each corner.

We helped Sam from the team with dyno data for the specific tunes they were using so they could run off-track simulations and better understand their suspension.

They were so stoked they put our Shockcraft logo on their car. Great job guys.

Are you a chart and sag kind of rider or a natural frequency type of rider?

20 Years of Shockcraft:
In 2006 Shockcraft started as a hobby supplying seals and custom parts for bike suspension. 2007 it changed from a hobby to a registered company. This year we mark 20 Years; that's two whole decades of Shockcraft. In the last 2 decades we've created a new industry in New Zealand, become famous worldwide and exported our products and services across the globe, including to countries you've never heard of.

We are completely stoked with how we've grown. 20 years ago we never expected to be employing staff and constantly exporting. International sales are ~1/3 of our revenue and provide year round demand. Our customers worldwide not only purchase suspension and parts but send us forks and shocks for tuning and repair. The suspension sent to us ranges from brand new suspension that no-one else can tune correctly to vintage parts that no-one else can repair and support.

We also carry a unique position of trust in the industry. In a world where everyone needs certified and trained, we do not. Every brand simply trusts us to service their products. We have a total of zero certifications.
