Shock Spring Retainer & Bumper Parts

At the bottom end of a motorbike's shock absorber there needs to be a way to attach the coil spring to the shock shaft - and this assembly needs to hold the bottoming rubber safely in place too.

Secure spring retention and controlled bottoming for coilover shocks

• Keeps the conical bumper positioned around the main shaft for predictable bottoming
• Spring lock rings retain the coil and keep it concentric around the damper
• Perch seats distribute pressure evenly and can act as preload spacers
• Individual components let you tune bottoming behaviour across many sizes

A holder cup around the main shaft holds the conical bumper, with a spring lock ring (shaped like a big c-clip) sat on top to retain the spring and keep it concentric around the damper. See our article on replacing shock springs for a better idea.

Many shocks include a spring perch seat on top of the locking clip for evenly distributed pressure, which can act as a spacer washer to adjust preload too - learn more about spring rate, preload & sag. Check out our shock spring hardware section too.

If you are consistently smashing your bump stop, adjust your compression damping first, and if it's maxed out, it might be time for a revalve - try our damping piston valving kits.
