{"product_id":"ncy-performance-rear-shock-black-265mm-honda-ruckus","title":"NCY Performance Rear Shock - Black - 265mm - Honda Ruckus","description":"Upgrade your ride quality, cornering stability, and stance with the premium NCY Performance Rear Shock absorber . Specifically engineered as an upgraded suspension solution for 50cc platforms, this 265mm shock features an oversized progressive-rate spring wound to deliver superior dampening, preventing bottoming-out cycles over harsh potholes while maintaining a planted feel during high-speed cornering. Finished in a sleek, stealthy satin black body with a gloss black accent spring, it serves as the ultimate visual and functional upgrade for riders looking to replace a mushy factory shock or complete a clean custom street build. Product Features Heavy-Duty Valving: Internal oil-damping valving is optimized for lightweight scooter weight distribution, providing firmer, more predictable tracking. Progressive-Rate Spring: Absorbs small pavement ripples smoothly while stiffening up under deep compression to handle heavier rider weights up to 300 lbs. Premium Stealth Finish: Durable powder-coated dual-black color profile resists road salt, grime, and environmental corrosion. Rigid Twin-Tube Design: Robust steel body cylinder limits internal aeration to guarantee consistent dampening performance during extended riding sessions.

INSTALLATION NOTE FOR HONDA RUCKUS: If you are running the original, stock factory plastic air box assembly on your Ruckus, you may need to add a small spacing washer or slightly shave the non-structural plastic tab on the air box housing. Because this performance upgrade spring utilizes a wider external diameter than the thin OEM factory spring, this quick modification ensures perfect operational clearance.
