1 - 17 of 17 Posts
I have two bikes with them and they work great. I switched from a Race Tech to the F22 Ishock.



Now the Race Tech is just sitting around.
The F22 is a great shock.I had one and loved it.
you guys havent had any problems with them?

just asking because ive heard alot about the lower end i shocks being crap, and was just wondering how the more top of the line one was.

everyones input is appreciated.

The F22 shock has NOTHING in common with the low end shocks.
The lower end i shocks are a debatable subject. I have had friends break them in half and i have another friend that has 3 years of constant beat down on his and its mint. So i would say that the high end i-shocks are worth it; also i-shocks have a lifetime warranty!
would they still have the warranty even if i wasnt the original buyer?

so the f22 is pretty much in a whole different league than the lower end i shocks?
If you had a used shock and it broke i hear an angry letter sent with the broken shock will get you a free new shock or a free rebuild guaranteed.

Ohh yea.They are 100% different.Every part of the f22 is much better quality than the low line ones.I had one worn out lower shock bearing in 3 years of having it and called Ishock to buy a new one and they sent me one for free.
thanks for the input guys! looks like ill go with the i shock and sano ls8 setup.
The Sano LS8 and F22 is a great setup. That's what I'm running on one of my bikes. If you have any problems with the shock just call them up and they'll help you out. They did for me on my M1 A6.

im going to be running this set up i think.. time to upgrade haha.



let me know how you like it
What about sending the shock in for a re-valve? Does I Shock do that? Is there a certain person over there to talk to about spring rates and valving?
Velocity works suspension will revalve it.

Yes they re-valve ..



Jovani at I-shock recently helped me out with my M1-A6 .



Great service and prompt !!



About that the " Life time warranty " thing ... It use to only work if you serviced your shock thru them every 6 months .



It amy have changed now ???... But call and ask em . And please lets us know what is what .
See less See more
they just revalved my shock for me for free because i said it felt like crap. they seem to be pretty good with their warrenties, although im not that impressed with their lower end shocks.



don't know about the f22 though.
