1) Extend the shock as far as it will go. Measure from the bottom mounting hole to the top mounting hole. Lets say this measurement is 24â. 2) Now Collapse the shock as far as it will go or up to the bump stop. Measure from the bottom mounting hole to the top mounting hole. Lets say this measurement is 18â. 3) Now subtract these measurements: 24â-18â= 6â. This 6â is the total shock travel.
Bypass Shocks. The dampening provided by standard shock absorbers is provided by the valving system being located at the head of the shock piston, which determines the dampening rates. Bypass shock absorbers arenât all that different in that aspect, but they do add to this standard method of dampening via valving.
