Product Details

Overview & Technology

RockShox DLX/SDLX Counter Measure Kit is an OEM replacement service kit that includes the counter-measure spring and carrier engineered for the Deluxe A1 and Super Deluxe A1 rear shocks (2017+). The kit restores the original mid-stroke support characteristics designed by RockShox, helping return the shock to its intended progression and feel after wear or crash damage. The components are manufactured to RockShox tolerances and spec, using a high-density elastomeric spring coupled with a reinforced carrier assembly and corrosion-resistant hardware. In real-world riding that translates to more predictable mid-stroke support, reduced harshness on repeated hits, and improved overall small-bump compliance when paired with a properly serviced damper.

Key Features & Benefits

What you get: the OEM spring and carrier designed specifically for Deluxe A1 / Super Deluxe A1 (2017+), part number 11.4118.055.000, SRAM model ID RS-SPP-A0. This direct-fit kit replaces worn counter-measure components to recover original suspension progression and top-level performance without needing a full shock replacement. • Direct OEM fit — matches RockShox factory tolerances for plug-and-play installation. • Improved mid-stroke support — restores intended progression for big-hit control. • Durable construction — elastomer spring and reinforced carrier resist compression set and failure under repeated use. • Compact, lightweight — small shipping dimensions (1.5" x 1.5" x 0.6") and 0.1 lb weight keep added mass negligible.

Fit, Installation & Compatibility

This kit is compatible with RockShox Deluxe A1 and Super Deluxe A1 rear shocks from 2017 onward. Reference the manufacturer part number (11.4118.055.000) and SRAM Model ID RS-SPP-A0 when confirming compatibility. It's designed as a direct replacement for the internal counter-measure assembly and requires standard shock service procedures for installation. While the parts are OEM-fit, installation requires basic shock service skills and tools — drain the shock, follow the RockShox service manual torque specs, and inspect related seals and hardware. If you're unsure, have your local shop or an authorized RockShox service center perform the installation to protect warranty and ensure correct assembly.

Who This Kit Is For

This counter-measure kit is ideal for enduro and aggressive trail riders who want to restore factory suspension feel after long-term use or an impact. It's also a must-have for bike shops and home mechanics doing routine shock service or replacing worn internals during a damper overhaul. If your ride feels vague in the mid-stroke, bottoms a bit more easily than it used to, or you suspect the internal elastomers are compressed or damaged, this kit brings the factory progression back without replacing the entire shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is included in the DLX/SDLX Counter Measure Kit?

The kit contains the OEM counter-measure spring and carrier designed for the Deluxe A1 and Super Deluxe A1 (2017+). It does not include seals or damper oil — those are separate service items. Check the box contents and part number 11.4118.055.000 to confirm.

How do I know if my shock needs this kit?

Signs include reduced mid-stroke support, increased harshness on successive hits, or a general loss of the shock's original progression. If the elastomer has compressed or the carrier shows wear from impacts, replacing these parts will restore the intended feel.

Can I install this kit at home or should I use a service center?

If you have experience with shock service, the correct tools, and the RockShox service manual, you can install it at home. Otherwise, we recommend an authorized service center to ensure correct assembly, torque settings, and to preserve warranty coverage.

Is this kit compatible with older RockShox Deluxe models?

This kit is specified for Deluxe A1 and Super Deluxe A1 models from 2017 onward. Always verify compatibility by matching the manufacturer part number (11.4118.055.000) and SRAM Model ID (RS-SPP-A0) with your shock's service documentation before ordering.

Do I need any additional parts to complete the service?

You may need seals, damper oil, and basic shock service tools, depending on the service level. Consider adding a full seal kit and fresh damper oil if you're performing a complete service; consult the shock service manual for recommended parts and quantities.

What are the shipping dimensions and weight?

The kit ships in a compact package sized 1.5" x 1.5" x 0.6" and weighs approximately 0.1 lb, making it an easy, low-cost add-on to any parts order.

Buying Guide

When buying internal shock parts like a counter-measure kit, confirm model-year compatibility first — RockShox frequently updates internal designs across generations. Choose OEM kits for guaranteed fit and factory performance, and consider pairing the kit with a seal kit and fresh damper oil for a full rebound in performance. If you're chasing a specific ride feel (more mid-stroke support vs. more plushness), consult your local suspension tuner or RockShox documentation. In many cases replacing worn internal components restores the original handling and saves the cost of a full shock replacement.
