Shocks for atomik 140 nitrous

[hoggo45]

I have a 140 Atomik Nitrous. it is a fun bike to ride but i am finding the front shocks are bottoming out quite a bit, Can I do somthing to fix this with out spending lots of $ or do I need new forks and shocks ? I am an average rider and weight 75 kg

regards Luke

you can tune the forks with different weight oil's if you want to give that a go take a look here:
http://www.miniriders.com/running-gear/15778-how-change-oil-usd-forks.html Or you could get better suspension which will make it a much better handling bike. Measure the length of your forks (from the top to the eye at the bottom (where the axle goes through) then look for a set the same length.

Look on Mini Bikes | Pitbikes | Dirt Bike Parts & Accessories | DHZ Mini Moto
Or on ebay.

Your rear shock should be a 280mm but i would measure as well just to be safe.

Good luck.

You'll probably need to replace them mate, The front and rear suspension on all atomiks are crap!

I bought a DNM HRC rear shock for my bigfoot reign the other day because I smashed my tail light to bits when riding in the bush, it fully bottomed out over a washout

Yeah thanks for the info, I looked on the DHZ web site and I am looking at around $400 bucks for a new front shocks, So I am not sure if I should spend the money on my atomik 140 Nitrous or just save up money sell the bike and get a new DHZ OUTLAW 140. Are the shocks on this bike good ?

I like my Atomik 140 Nitrous It goes well and has plenty of power but I weigh 75 Kg and the shocks are letting me down and just reaching there limit all the time just over bumps when I ride the bike hard.

Yeah its expensive mate but you pay for what you get really.

Suspension is one of the most important parts on the bike, I weigh 75kg too so I know how you feel lol
I would ride a mini if I wasn't 6 foot 3! lol

I found the rear shock is worse than the forks on mine, only bottom them out once lol which is still bad.

Remember to check the length of your forks - mine are 735mm for a bigfoot to give you an example.
