Description

Transform your scooter's ride quality with the Forsa 280mm Nitrogen-Charged Performance Shock. Designed for riders who want precision over the "bouncy" feel of stock springs, this gas-charged shock delivers superior damping and stability for aggressive cornering and daily urban riding alike. Features an adjustable threaded preload collar, a red nitrogen charge valve on the body, and a fork-style lower mount. Made in Taiwan. Compatible with Honda Elite 80 (CH80), GY6 50cc, QMB139, and any scooter with a 280mm eye-to-eye mount.

Key Features

  • Nitrogen-Charged Damping: High-pressure gas charge prevents oil foaming and fade, maintaining consistent feel even during long, high-heat rides.
  • Adjustable Threaded Preload Collar: Dial in spring stiffness to match your weight and cargo requirements.
  • 346kg (762 lb) Load Rating: Structural integrity for full-size scooters and spirited riding.
  • Fork-Style Lower Mount: M8xP1.25 threaded bottom for secure fitment.
  • Top Eye Mount: Ø10.1mm bushing, 20mm wide.
  • Made in Taiwan.

Mechanic's Notes

  • A worn rear shock is the most common cause of skittish handling on aging scooters.
  • Use a spanner wrench to loosen the preload collar if the ride feels too stiff; tighten it if you frequently carry a passenger to prevent bottoming out.
