WHY SERVICE?

Nitron shocks should be serviced and rebuilt to ensure they perform at their optimum level throughout their operating life. The stresses and forces encountered with road and track riding/driving or racing eventually begin to deplete the shearing ability of the oil within the shock which will lead to a drop in damping performance.

A full service and inspection by either Nitron or an Authorised Nitron Service Centre is the only way to ensure your Nitron shock continues to perform at the same high level as it was designed to do when it was brand new.

If you need any advice on understanding the correct type of service for your shock or have any other questions regarding servicing, please contact us.
