After Market Shocks: Risse Racing

Derbi GPR

For the classic Derbi gpr (1998-2004) the current best option is produced by Risse Racing, a company that makes performance shocks for mountain bikes.

They use to market a coil over shock, with a remote reservoir, adjustable pre-load, compression damping, and rebound damping. This shock is not currently listed in their catalog, but they can be contacted directly about assembling a shock for the classic GPR.

After Market Shocks: 2005-2009 Derbi GPR125 Shock Specs

2005-2009 Derbi GPR125 Shock Specs

These are the dimensions of the two stroke 125 GPR that Derbi produced from 2005 to 2009. The shock would fit on a 50cc GPR from the same edition. The main difference between the two were the ability to adjust the preload, but the damping on the 125 shock was also better.

For ordering an aftermarket shock these specifications would be quite handy.

I have been VERY pleased with DNM MT-BAG shock on my black RS50, so pleased that I've ordered a second unit for the Silver RS50 !
