Motorcycle Shock Gas Bladders

Teknik Shock Bladders

Shock Bladders

Motorbikes with piggyback-style shock absorbers sometimes have an internal floating piston (IFP) separating oil & nitrogen - but much more commonly a thick rubber reservoir holds the gas separately. These heavy duty little balloons are less prone to leaking than piston seals, and we stock the seals, o-rings and retaining c-clips to service your stock shocks. For performance we also offer bladder & cap upgrades including high capacity kits, short angled caps, bladder conversion kits and anodised colours.

How bladders improve damping and reliability

  • Separate oil and gas in piggyback shocks without an IFP
  • Reduce seal wear and external leakage compared with pistons
  • Provide soft initial damping on the compression stroke
  • Compatible with schrader (tyre) valves or pierced rubber bungs for regassing

Recommended Pairings

Consider matching bladders with Suspension Tools and our regassing tools for correct fill pressure.
