Frequently Asked Questions

• Which MRP suspension products are best for trail, enduro, and downhill riding?

  MRP’s lineup includes trail- and enduro-oriented forks and more robust freeride/downhill shocks; choose a Downieville-style trail/enduro fork for mixed climbs and descents and a longer-travel, coil-friendly shock for dedicated downhill or bike-park use. Match travel and damping features to your discipline—more travel and firmer damping for big hits, lighter/tunable air setups for pedaling efficiency.
• How do I check whether an MRP fork or shock will fit my bike frame?

  Confirm axle type and spacing (thru-axle size), wheel diameter (26", 27.5", 29"), headtube standard for forks, and for rear shocks check eye-to-eye length and stroke plus mounting hardware and bushings. Cross-reference those measurements with the MRP product spec sheet and your frame’s factory specs before purchase.
• What travel and wheel size should I choose for MRP forks and shocks?

  Select travel by intended use—shorter travel for trail XC and playful trail bikes, mid-to-long travel (roughly 140–180mm) for enduro, and longer travel for downhill/freeride—and pick wheel size that complements your frame geometry (29" for rollover and stability, 27.5" for agility). Always ensure the chosen travel and wheel size are compatible with your frame geometry and brake clearance.
• What setup and maintenance steps will keep MRP suspension performing well?

  Start with correct basic setup: set sag per the product manual, then tune rebound and compression damping for your weight and terrain; use the recommended air pressure or spring rate and check axle torque and seal health. Maintain clean stanchions, replace seals/fluids at manufacturer intervals, and have damper or cartridge work done by a qualified suspension tech when beyond routine service.
