185x55mm Sizing

The 185mm eye-to-eye length and 55mm stroke are specific dimensions that must match your frame's rear shock specifications. Before purchasing, verify your frame requires exactly 185x55mm sizing. This combination provides substantial travel for aggressive trail riding and enduro applications while maintaining proper frame geometry and suspension kinematics.

Trunnion Mount Interface

The trunnion shaft eyelet provides a wider mounting interface that reduces stress on the shock hardware and frame, improving durability and performance. This mounting style is common on modern trail and enduro frames designed for aggressive riding. Ensure your frame uses trunnion mounting at the shaft eyelet before purchasing.

RLC3 Damping Adjustability

The RLC3 designation indicates three key adjustments: Rebound controls how quickly the shock extends after compression, Lockout provides firm damping for climbing efficiency, and 3-position Compression offers open, pedal, and firm settings to optimize performance for different terrain. This adjustability allows you to fine-tune the shock for your riding style and trail conditions.

Medium Rebound and Compression Tune

The MReb/MComp tune provides balanced damping suitable for most riders and trail conditions. Medium rebound prevents the shock from rebounding too quickly or slowly, while medium compression offers controlled damping that absorbs impacts without feeling harsh or wallowy. This versatile tune works well for general trail riding and e-MTB applications.

430lb Lockout Force

The firm 430lb lockout force provides excellent pedaling efficiency on climbs and smooth terrain. When engaged, the lockout significantly reduces suspension movement during pedaling, improving power transfer and climbing performance. The threshold blow-off ensures the shock still absorbs large impacts even when locked out, protecting the shock and frame.

Nude Design Benefits

The Nude design eliminates the external reservoir found on some shocks, reducing weight and simplifying installation. Despite the compact design, the Deluxe Nude RLC3 delivers performance comparable to reservoir shocks for most trail and enduro riding, making it an excellent choice for riders who want premium performance without extra weight and complexity.

E-MTB Capable

The Deluxe Nude RLC3 handles the increased demands of e-mountain bike riding including higher speeds, additional weight from motor and battery, and more aggressive riding enabled by electric assist. The robust construction and damping tune provide reliable performance through the demanding conditions e-MTB riders encounter.
