How To Care For Your Dirt Logic Shocks
Dirt Logic shocks have been designed as a take apart, serviceable, race style unit. That means, just like a race shock, it will need to be maintained and periodically rebuilt. The tight tolerances of this provide the exceptional ride and performance you are paying for but do require maintenance which is normal in a take apart shock like a Dirt Logic.
Externally, the shock should be kept clean at all times and kept free of dirt, road salt or other corrosive elements. The unit should be routinely washed with a pH balanced cleaner to keep the finish looking new. Do not use any abrasive or aggressive cleaners or degreasers as it will harm the finish for life including the aluminum anodizing.
Internally, the shock has high performance seals that allow the shock to cycle at very high rates and provide exceptional damping in aggressive off-road conditions. These seals are a wearable item and may need to be replaced periodically to keep the shock functioning correctly. Our in house Shock Lab is equipped to handle these needs when necessary.
