Avid Xray Shock Shaft Conversion and Pistons
New from Avid Racing Concepts are these Xray Shock Shaft Conversions and Machined Pistons that remove the need for e-clips. The US company’s system has the perfect tolerance so when you fully tighten down the screw, the full assortment of pre-drilled Avid pistons are still allowed to slightly spin keeping it from deforming. To finish the shafts they are chrome-plated to ensure the smoothest surface possible. The machined 13.2mm pistons are for the Avid Shock Shaft Conversion for the new Xray big bore shocks. They offer a conventional setup but with a perfectly machined round piston and square 90° edges for a tight- fitting piston that has little blow-by creating more pack on jumps. The Xray ground piston only comes in blanks and it has a slight indentation cut on the top taking away from its total thickness. Avid have developed a process of keeping all the edges sharp with little to no burrs to keep your confidence high when landing big jumps.
