Product Details

Overview & Technology

RockShox Shock Hardware 8X56.0 (Manufacturer Part #: 11.4118.091.856, Product #942702, SRAM Model ID: RS-SPP-A0) is a purpose-built rear shock mounting kit designed to restore factory fit and function. This 3-piece, 1/2" (12.7 mm) bore assembly is engineered for the dimensional and loading demands of modern rear shocks, delivering precise alignment and reliable clamping through repeated use. The kit uses precision-machined stainless steel pins for corrosion resistance and tensile strength, anodized aluminum outer sleeves to maintain alignment and reduce weight, and high-performance polymer reducers that damp movement and limit metal-on-metal wear. Together these materials create a mix of strength, low friction, and durability — essential for consistent suspension performance across seasons and conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

Built to factory spec: The 8X56.0 kit matches RockShox/SRAM dimensions so you get correct preload, axle spacing, and shock articulation without modification. It replaces worn or damaged hardware to eliminate slop and restore crisp suspension feel. • 3-piece construction for simple installation and secure retention. • Hardened stainless steel pins resist bending and corrosion under heavy loads. • Anodized aluminum sleeves keep weight down while maintaining alignment. • High-performance polymer reducers reduce friction and protect shock eyelets from wear.

Fit & Compatibility

This hardware is intended for rear shock mounts that use a 1/2" (12.7 mm) pin diameter with an effective length specified as 56.0 mm (8x56.0). Check your frame and shock service manual or measure your current pin length before ordering. The SRAM Model ID (RS-SPP-A0) and RockShox part number (11.4118.091.856) help confirm direct compatibility with many RockShox-configured frames and shocks. If your frame or shock uses different internal reducers, bushings, or a different bore size, you may need a different kit or to swap internal spacers. When in doubt, bring your old pin to a tech or compare measurements: pin diameter (1/2"), sleeve outer diameter, and overall installed length (56.0 mm) must match for safe operation.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at mountain riders, mechanics, and home wrenchers who need a reliable replacement for worn rear shock mounting hardware. Whether you’re refreshing a bike during a full service, replacing corroded pins after winter, or sourcing OEM-spec parts for a rebuild, this RockShox kit gives the correct fit and long life expected from factory components. It's also a good choice for riders who run frequently wet or muddy conditions and want stainless steel durability plus polymer reducers to extend eyelet life. If you ride aggressively and put high hours on your suspension, replacing mounting hardware at service intervals helps maintain performance and prevents progressive wear that can damage frames or shocks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I confirm this 8X56.0 kit fits my frame or shock?

Measure your current pin diameter (should be 1/2" or 12.7 mm) and the installed pin length (56.0 mm). Cross-check your shock or frame service manual for the RockShox/SRAM RS-SPP-A0 or part number 11.4118.091.856 to confirm direct compatibility.

What tools and torque are required to install this hardware?

Installation typically requires a hex wrench or socket specified by your shock/ frame manufacturer and proper torque per your service manual—usually a low to moderate torque to avoid crushing reducers or eyelets. If unsure, have a qualified shop fit the hardware to ensure correct preload and torque specs.

How often should I replace rear shock mounting hardware?

Replace hardware during major suspension services or if you notice play, corrosion, noise, or visible wear on pins and reducers. For regular trail riders, inspect hardware every 6–12 months; replace sooner under heavy use.

Can I use this kit on non-RockShox shocks or aftermarket frames?

Possibly — compatibility depends on matching pin diameter and installed length. If your non-RockShox part uses a 1/2" pin and 56.0 mm effective length, the kit may fit. Always confirm dimensions and clearances before installing to avoid damage.

What warranty or return options are available for this part?

Forest Bikes honors RockShox warranty and returns per our returns policy. Verify part condition on arrival and contact us promptly if the item is defective or the wrong part. Manufacturer warranties vary; keep your purchase receipt for claims.

Does this kit include bushings or only pins and sleeves?

This 3-piece kit includes the precision pin(s), outer sleeve(s), and polymer reducers designed to replace the common components used in RockShox rear shock mounts. If your frame uses separate pressed-in bushings, confirm whether those also need replacement.

Buying Guide

When buying rear shock mounting hardware, match three key measurements: pin diameter (here 1/2" or 12.7 mm), installed length (56.0 mm), and reducer/ sleeve outer diameters. OEM part numbers (RockShox 11.4118.091.856, SRAM RS-SPP-A0) greatly simplify compatibility checks and reduce the chance of fitment problems. Choose corrosion-resistant materials (stainless steel pins, anodized sleeves) if you ride in wet or salty conditions. Replace mounting hardware as part of regular suspension service intervals to maintain suspension performance and protect shock eyelets and frame mounts from accelerated wear.
