High Performance Bike Shock Specification Example for Off-Road Bikes: Racing Spec
High Performance Bike Shock Specification Example for Off-Road Bikes: Racing Spec
This is a worked specification for high performance bike shock in a racing spec programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The racing spec version exists because the duty cycle on off-road bikes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually premature wear on the first batch.
Example specification
| Item | High Performance Bike Shock |
|---|---|
| Application | Off-Road Bikes |
| Version | Racing Spec |
| Base material | Nylon 66 |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |

| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | ISO/TS 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Nylon 66, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- powder coating
- electroplating
- injection moulding
- shot blasting
- die casting
- rubber vulcanisation
Where this example applies
Programmes that run racing spec most often specify this build for off-road bikes. Related applications include off-road bikes, city buses, workshop replacements, export programmes, emergency vehicles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO/TS 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
