Product Details

Overview & Technology

Full factory-grade rear shock service in one kit. The DLX/SDLX Gen-C 1 Year Kit (RockShox P/N 00.4318.037.020 / Forest SKU 943234) contains the wear items and lubricants needed for the recommended 200‑hour or 1‑year maintenance on Gen‑C Deluxe and Super Deluxe platforms. This kit covers Nude/Bold 2022+, ThruShaft (2021–2024) and Deluxe/Super Deluxe (2023+) versions. The kit uses precision-molded elastomer seals and low-friction polymer glide rings to restore damping smoothness and reduce stiction. Included IFP (internal floating piston) seals refresh the air/damping interface, while factory-compatible grease and oil ensure correct lubrication and damping performance after reassembly.

Key Features & What's Included

Everything you need for a scheduled rebuild. This service kit combines critical consumables into one package so you can perform a complete lower-level service without guessing quantities or oil grades. • Air can piston seals and O-rings to stop air leaks and restore positive feel • Low-friction glide rings to eliminate stick‑slip and preserve small-bump sensitivity • IFP seals specifically sized for Gen‑C internals to maintain consistent pressure separation • RockShox-grade grease and suspension oil tuned for damping stability Lightweight packaging (5.5" x 5" x 1.25", 0.15 lb) makes replacement parts easy to store or carry to the trailhead.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation Notes

Designed for Gen‑C Deluxe family shocks. Confirm fit with your shock model: Nude/Bold 2022+, ThruShaft 2021–2024, and Deluxe / Super Deluxe 2023+ are supported. If your shock is an earlier generation or a different platform, check factory service documentation or contact Forest Bikes before ordering. Installation requires basic suspension service tools: torque wrench, shock pump, snap ring pliers, clean workspace, and a service manual or OEM torque specs. If you're unsure, professional shop servicing is recommended — proper assembly and correct oil volumes are critical to ride safety and performance.

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is for mountain riders who demand consistent rear-end performance and want to follow RockShox factory service intervals. Ideal for trail, enduro and all-mountain riders running Deluxe or Super Deluxe Gen‑C shocks who want to eliminate stiction and maintain air integrity. Mechanically-inclined home mechanics will appreciate the all-in-one packaging, while shop techs can save time by stocking a single part number for common Gen‑C services. If you ride frequently in wet, muddy, or heavy-duty conditions, scheduled replacement of seals and glide rings pays back in longer shock life and more predictable damping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which shocks is this kit compatible with?

This kit services RockShox DLX/SDLX Generation‑C rear shocks including Nude/Bold 2022+, ThruShaft 2021–2024, and Deluxe/Super Deluxe 2023+. Always verify your shock's model/year against the compatibility listing before purchase.

What parts are included in the 1 Year Kit?

The kit contains air can piston seals, glide rings, IFP seals and the recommended grease and suspension oil. It replaces the wear items specified by RockShox for a full lower-level 200‑hour/1‑year service.

Can I install this kit myself or should I use a shop?

If you have experience with suspension service and the right tools (snap ring pliers, torque wrench, shock pump, clean workspace), you can perform this service yourself. If you lack tools or are unfamiliar with oil volumes and torque specs, professional shop service is recommended.

How long does a service take with this kit?

For an experienced tech, a lower-level service using this kit typically takes 30–60 minutes. If it's your first time or you need to inspect and clean internal components, expect additional time.

Does this kit include external hardware like bolts or mounting hardware?

No. This kit contains consumable internal seal components and lubricants only. Mounting bolts, bushings, and external hardware are sold separately if needed.

How often should I replace these seals and gaskets?

RockShox recommends a lower-level service every 200 riding hours or at least once per year, whichever comes first. Replace seals sooner if you notice oil leaks, loss of pressure, or increased stiction.

Buying Guide

When choosing a rear shock service kit, match the kit to your shock generation and model year — RockShox parts are tightly versioned and fitment mistakes are common. Look for kits that include all wear items (piston seals, glide rings, IFP seals) and the correct lubricants to simplify the job. If you ride frequently, in harsh conditions, or notice reduced damping performance, don’t delay servicing: seals and glide rings are inexpensive relative to full shock replacement. New to suspension maintenance? Consider booking a professional lower-level service the first time and learn the process from a tech.
