How often should you service MTB suspension?
Servicing should be done on a regular basis, we recommend a full suspension service approximately every 100-200 hours spent riding depending on your riding style.
Here are some handy calculations if you ride light trails eg: Dunstan Trail, Rail Trail etc
5 days, 2 hours riding per day = every 20 weeks
4 days, 2 hours riding per day = every 26 weeks
3 days, 2 hours riding per day = every 34 weeks
2 days, 2 hours riding per day = every 50 weeks
If you ride on rougher trails eg: Skyline, grade 3 and up
5 days, 2 hours riding per day = every 10 weeks
4 days, 2 hours riding per day = every 13 weeks
3 days, 2 hours riding per day = every 17 weeks
2 days, 2 hours riding per day = every 25 weeks
How much will it cost to get my suspension serviced?
It varies depending on how much needs done between $80 and $250
