The Lanier rear shock is a replacement and performance upgrade designed for KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas 65 models. It is built to improve damping consistency and control compared to OEM units, particularly under repeated load and race conditions. The design focuses on predictable response, adjustability and serviceability for both recreational and competitive riders.

Why Choose the Lanier Rear Shock?

This shock is engineered to address common limitations in standard 65cc suspension, including limited adjustment range and inconsistent damping under heat. With a larger adjustment range and stable damping characteristics, it allows more precise setup for rider weight, track conditions and riding style. The use of common shim sizes and standard spring formats also simplifies ongoing maintenance and tuning.
