SHOCK TACTICS FROM R&G RACING
New product line to protect rear shock absorbers

www.rg-racing.com

R&G Racing, the world leader in motorcycle crash protection, is now offering defence
for motorcycle shock absorbers.
Part of R&G’s continued pledge to offer protection products across all areas of a bike,
the Shocktube is an impact resistant, waterproof, vented tube made from 100%
bonded Neoprene, double lined with stretch nylon on both sides.
Aimed at riders of all disciplines – road, track and off-road - the R&G Shocktube works
by completely enclosing the rear shock absorber and spring to prevent damage
from road salt, water spray, stone chipping, dust and dirt that can have a detrimental
effect on the performance and looks of the unit over time.
Although road bikes ridden in all conditions seem the obvious choice for the R&G Shocktube
expensive aftermarket shocks on race and track bikes can also be damaged by circuit debris.
To cope with this extreme environment and to expel moisture, the Shocktube features
six 5mm rustproof eyelets inserted into the neoprene skin at the top, middle and bottom
to dissipate heat from the shock.
