If you’ve already added power mods to your Ultra Bee but haven’t upgraded the rear suspension, you’re leaving performance on the table.
The RFLOXA RAF55RV rear shock is engineered specifically for the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee platform. This isn’t a universal shock adapted to fit — it’s designed around the Ultra Bee’s linkage and geometry to deliver proper ride height, better traction, and real high-speed stability.
For riders pushing desert terrain, technical enduro, or aggressive jump lines, this upgrade completely changes how the bike feels.
Why Rear Suspension Matters More Than You Think
Most riders focus on forks first. But the rear shock controls:
-
Traction under acceleration
-
Stability in corners
-
Jump landing control
-
Overall chassis balance
When the rear suspension can’t keep up, the bike feels unpredictable and unsettled — especially at higher speeds.
The RFLOXA RAF55RV fixes that.
What Makes the RAF55RV a Serious Upgrade
This Ultra Bee-specific rear shock features:
-
320mm center distance
-
85mm travel
-
External nitrogen reservoir
-
Oil/gas separated damping structure
-
DLC-coated main tube
-
CNC-machined mounting components
It’s built from premium materials including AL6061-T6 and AL7075-T6 aluminum, 42CRMO piston pole, and 55CRSI spring wire for durability under aggressive riding conditions.
Fully Adjustable for Any Riding Style
The RAF55RV gives you full tuning control:
-
20-click rebound adjustment
-
22-click low-speed compression
-
3-turn high-speed compression
That means you can dial it in for:
-
Fast desert runs
-
Technical rock sections
-
Supermoto setups
-
Hard jump landings
Instead of a “one setting fits all” feel, you get a rear shock that adapts to your terrain and riding style.
Rider Weight Spring Options (lbs)

Correct spring rate = proper sag = balanced performance.
