LEVEL 2 Rear Shock (250mm travel) - suitable for both CRF300L & Rally.

Developed in conjunction with Rally Raid engineering partners TracTive Suspension in the Netherlands, Rally Raid unique high performance shock features a huge 46mm diameter body and piston (similar to those used for our KTM 690 and Yamaha Tenere 700 rear suspension) which offers a dramatic increase in oil flow for far more precise damping control under a wide range of conditions, and more oil capacity to help reduce damping fade.

Together with offering a wide range of spring rates, the nitrogen-charged shock body features a separation piston to eliminate foaming and provides consistent damping characteristics. This is key during prolonged off-road riding or more spirited highway riding, and whether you are solo or laden with luggage.

Be aware that while our LEVEL 2 (250mm travel) CRF shock offers the same overall travel as the OEM specification, now you have the rear of the bike sprung with correct rate for your weight (ie. without the excessive sag of the soft standard components) correspondingly you will have effectively raised your ride/seat height by around 30-40mm (depending on your personal sag preference) - in other words, you now have more of the total travel available than before, and a corresponding increase in seat height and ground clearance.

In that regard, while it is perfectly possible to fit our 250mm travel LEVEL 2 rear shock independently of any other upgrades, we would recommend you consider matching it with our dedicated LEVEL 2 fork kit for properly balanced ride-height and geometry - offering a high performance suspension set-up front and rear.

Subsequently if you do plan to fit Rally Raid LEVEL 2 front and rear together, we also recommend you also fit our +20mm longer side stand (link below), otherwise the taller height of the bike will cause it to lean over excessively when on the OEM side stand.

OPTIONAL HYDRAULIC PRELOAD ADJUSTER for CRF300L & RALLY (select from menu box above).

Note. Rally Raid specifically developed the Hydraulic Preload Adjuster option as it is difficult to access the standard threaded preload ring on Rally Raid upgraded shocks to adjust the preload, without having to remove the shock.

Rally Raid remote hydraulic adjuster is designed for riders that want quick, easy adjustment of spring preload. It allows the preload to be adjusted over a range of +/-15mm with the simple turning of a knob. Approximately 30 turns will achieve the full movement of the preload piston travel, and the knob has a 'click' every half-turn to aid setting.

Limited shock access on these bikes means a remote adjuster is much preferred by those riders who wish to adjust the preload/rear sag setting on a regular basis - typically when carrying extra luggage or a passenger, or when going from street to off-road travelling.

Supplied readily assembled on your shock together with all fitting hardware, including 2 different HPA adjuster handle brackets for both Euro 5 & non-Euro 5 models.
