Rear Shock Absorber Stage6 R/T MK2 Upside Down Minarelli
Description
Stage6 R/T strut 285mm
High-end shock for demanding tuning projects and racing use: Stage6 R/T MKII Upside Down rear shock absorber for Minarelli (Yamaha Aerox, Malaguti F12 and many more).
The MKII is the second generation of the upside down shock absorber. It is an ultra-modern, top-of-the-line shock absorber which has been modified and improved once again in collaboration with the best European racing riders, primarily in regard to hydraulics.
Adjustment options Stage6 R/T inverted shock absorber
The adjustment range has been revised, it is now larger and can be adapted to the requirements of different riders, tracks and conditions. Another innovation is that compression and rebound no longer have to be set independently of each other. if the rebound stage is changed, this has no effect on the compression stage. This makes it much easier to adjust the shock absorber.
- Spring preload
- Compression (orange adjustment wheel)
- Rebound (black knurled wheel)
The spring preload can be used to adjust the shock absorber to the rider's weight. Compression stage "comp" and rebound stage "reb" refer to the hydraulics of the shock absorber. The adjustment range is optimized, which means that a change in settings is implemented immediately with a single "click".
In addition, the rear of your scooter can be raised, resulting in more precise braking and easier corner entry.
The reservoir is located on the lower mount of this upside-down shock absorber, which simplifies installation on some scooter models.
The shock absorber for Yamaha / MBK (Minarelli) impresses with premium material and manufacturing quality (CNC), the part is extremely robust and resistant, looks great and really offers everything a tuner may want or need.
The S6 R/T MK2 shock absorber is primarily intended for use on the race track, but can of course also be fitted to scooters designed for use on the road.

Shock absorber
Basic functionality
Whether motocross, scooter, moped or motorcycle, shock absorbers have a very simple and basic function: they absorb shocks and vibrations to make riding comfortable and safe. Without shock absorbers, you wouldn't be able to reach very high speeds because the wheels wouldn't really stay on the ground.
Since shock absorbers provide the connection to the ground and are therefore one of the main safety elements of a vehicle, they need to be maintained regularly and be fully operational at all times.
What are the symptoms of a defective shock absorber?
A shock absorber is supposed to absorb shocks, but not simply act like a spring, otherwise it would act like a catapult.
If the shock absorber comes up too fast after compression, jams, squeaks or smears oil (oil leak), it must be repaired or replaced.
For motocross machines with high-end shock absorbers that are very expensive, there are repair kits for shock absorbers. However, you will need some technical know-how and special tools to do these repairs.
For scooters and 50cc motor cycles, it's often easier to buy inexpensive new shock absor bers to do a complete replacement like a car.
Simple, adjustable, Racing
Gas pressure or hydraulic, simple shock or complex system - there are many different types of shock absorbers.
On the one hand, spring travel is important, which allows for more or less intensive use, and there are also different options for adjusting the shock depending on the model.
There are simple models like most original shock absorbers on scooters. Shock absorbers can also have different adjustment options that allow the handling to be adapted to the rider, use and conditions. These include shocks with adjustable spring preload, high-low shocks with adjustable compression for low and high speeds, and shocks with adjustable rebound like the ones on motocross bikes.
Racing shock absorbers are the most technically advanced models, they have all the above adjustment options, are made of particularly high-quality materials and often have a special finish (eg, the popular "Kashima coating").
