{"product_id":"heavy-hitter-billet-reinforced-suspension-linkage","title":"Heavy Hitter Billet Reinforced Suspension Linkage","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eHeavy Hitter has produced an amazing upgrade for your favorite e-bike. The rear suspension linkage is a known weak point in the stock suspension setup. Many riders have complained about suspension noise and play since the bike was released.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat play means it's only a matter of time until bearing and linkage failure comes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur linkage is designed with 4mm of shock preload. Your linkage will lightly rest on the swingarm at full droop with the rear wheel off the ground. This is a huge advantage for all bikes! Most Mountain bike suspension does not include a top out control on the shock. Unfortunately, this leads to the shock shaft and seals slamming into the shock body at full droop. If this happens continuously, it will prematurely blow out your suspension seals and rebound control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo prevent premature shock wear, we have designed the linkage to have 4mm of top out stop, similar to limiting straps found on Trophy trucks and side by sides. This will greatly increase the life of your shock and components - especially for heavier riders needing 550-650 lb. springs, and guys that love sending big jumps. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis will only fit the correct 10.5 x 3.5 inch, and smaller shocks! Longer shocks are not advised. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always grease bearings before riding!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from 7075 Billet Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel bushings for a precision no slop fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-Assembled with new bearings, bushings, and seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved quality and strength!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple installation takes 20 minutes or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 2 black anodized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTalaria Sting\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GritShift","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405386645657,"sku":"sku-17020658","price":99.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0459\/6367\/3753\/products\/GritShiftBilletReinforcedSuspensionLinkage.jpg?v=1695419658","url":"https:\/\/opentrailsebike.com\/products\/heavy-hitter-billet-reinforced-suspension-linkage","provider":"Open Trails E-Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
