Associated Shock Standoffs

Avid designed a strong new standoff with a replaceable Delrin™ pivot bushing to coincide with the release of the new 12mm Team Associated big-bore shocks.   AVID Aluminum Shock Standoffs are made of black anodized 7075 Aluminum and have a wide base to prevent bent shock mount screws from de-railing your bid for TQ.  The pivot bushings can be replaced to help keep a tight fit and not wear out your aluminum shock caps.
