Product Overview

NOTICE: The Machined Shock Spacers included are now black instead of white so it will be easier to distinguish between these and the Machined Shock Spacers we make for the kit Associated shocks. The picture still shows them as being white.
Our AE 13mm 27.5 front shock bodies with low-friction Avant Coating give B7/B74 racers a competitive edge. These bodies feature a polished, mirror-like finish that resists wear while offering the lowest friction on the market. The exterior showcases our signature Ringer silver highlights and a laser-etched AV logo at the bottom, making them stand out. They’re compatible with AE pistons, and we've optimized the design to use 4 fewer machined spacers, cutting replacement costs in half. Plus, each pair includes these spacers, offering unmatched value.

Unique Items

  • Avant: Avid's new Avant Coating offers the same strength as our mil-spec type III hard anodizing but with an even smoother polished like low-friction surface.
  • Tapered Design: This shock body’s internal lower taper design was inspired by Yuichi Kanai from Kyosho, who introduced this feature during the MP7 era. At the time, many pro drivers used his shocks on their manufacturers' 1/8th scale buggies. The tapered design directs the flow of oil during compression more efficiently, compared to a flat wall, allowing for smoother shock operation. It also allows for oil to be under the piston on full stoke landings to help prevent cavitation. We have been successfully using this internal design since the release of our TLR 13mm shock bodies. Tip: If you are using internal limiters, you will need to add one extra 1mm limiter to be similar to traditional AE setup sheets.

  • HD Sealing: Are you tired of always finding a small amount of oil on your shock caps? Well we were too, especially when they are run upside down in the rear for carpet. So we beefed up the cap oring so that you will feel it engage the cap a turn or two before it is fully hand tightened giving you the leakless seal you have always dreamed of.

Installing Machined Spacers

  • Install the large spacer first > both Xrings > stepped spacer with the wide side in first > then screw on the cartridge cap. After you have the shaft installed, we recommend moving the shaft side to side to best seat the shock spacers and free up the shaft movement.

  • Don't forget to lube your Xrings with Avid's Slop Oring Grease.
