Start With The Setup We Recommend For Most Road King Riders
For most two-wheel Road King riders, Super Shox SR2 LT is where we recommend starting. It gives the rear suspension more usable travel and control while keeping the bike at a practical touring stance.
Our starting recommendation for Road King riders who want better control, more usable suspension travel and a setup that works for solo riding, loaded touring and 2-up miles.
RR1 is the step up for Road King riders who want a remote reservoir and external damping adjustment for more control over how the rear suspension responds.
A Road King Should Still Feel Controlled When The Miles And Load Add Up
A Road King may look simpler than a full-dress Touring bike, but the rear suspension can still see very different loads from one ride to the next — solo cruising, a passenger, luggage or a full touring setup. Super Shox is configured around how your Road King is actually used instead of relying on one generic setup for every rider.
The shock model is only part of the setup.
Two Road King riders can own the same bike and place very different demands on the rear suspension. A solo rider traveling light is not asking the same thing from the shocks as someone regularly riding 2-up with luggage.
That's why we collect your rider, passenger and load information. Super Shox uses that information to configure the suspension around your actual riding setup — not to decide which shock model you need.
We review your bike and rider information before the shocks move into the build process. If something doesn't look right, we'd rather catch it before they're built than leave you trying to solve it afterward.
