Suspension Maintenance
KEEP YOUR SUSPENSIONS IN TOP CONDITION !
Suspensions are key components of your bike. In addition to a "traditional" tune-up that is essential for any bike, your mountain bike requires essential care for its proper functioning . Maintained regularly and carefully, you will get the most out of your suspensions. They are constantly used in mountain biking: dust, mud, water, washing, constant friction are all elements that contribute to their wear. Do you want your summer outings to remain pleasant and safe at all times? Regular maintenance carried out by our specialists will give you peace of mind on each of your outings.
Why maintain your suspensions?
To fully enjoy your mountain bike! An efficient suspension means even more fun on the trails . On the other hand, a poorly maintained suspension reduces the qualities of your machine, but above all wears out prematurely. Less performance, less fun... more problems! Don't wait until it's too late and make an appointment with our specialists .
When should you service your fork and shock absorber?
According to the main manufacturers (Fox, RockShox, etc.) it is strongly recommended to perform suspension maintenance every 50 hours of use. In short, the more you ride, the more frequent the maintenance should be. Our 50h service is a preventive service , carried out directly in our workshops. In the case of use exceeding 50 hours, it will be necessary to carry out a total reconstruction (150h service) , carried out by one of our suppliers. The cost will then be a minimum of $200 per suspension and the lead time will be at least 2 weeks .
Who is this for?
Quite simply, all mountain bike owners . Whatever your level of riding, whether you're a regular rider or more occasional, regular maintenance will guarantee you peace of mind at all times.
Where to carry out suspension maintenance?
Our suspension maintenance service is available in our Mont-Tremblant , Ste-Thérèse , Laval and Montreal Rosemont stores.
