Description
Stage6 R/T strut 285mm
High-end shock for demanding tuning projects and racing use: Stage6 R/T MKII Upside Down rear shock absorber for Minarelli (Yamaha Aerox, Malaguti F12 and many more).
The MKII is the second generation of the upside down shock absorber. It is an ultra-modern, top-of-the-line shock absorber which has been modified and improved once again in collaboration with the best European racing riders, primarily in regard to hydraulics.
Adjustment options Stage6 R/T inverted shock absorber
The adjustment range has been revised, it is now larger and can be adapted to the requirements of different riders, tracks and conditions. Another innovation is that compression and rebound no longer have to be set independently of each other. if the rebound stage is changed, this has no effect on the compression stage. This makes it much easier to adjust the shock absorber.
- Spring preload
- Compression (orange adjustment wheel)
- Rebound (black knurled wheel)
The spring preload can be used to adjust the shock absorber to the rider’s weight. Compression stage “comp” and rebound stage “reb” refer to the hydraulics of the shock absorber. The adjustment range is optimized, which means that a change in settings is implemented immediately with a single “click”.
In addition, the rear of your scooter can be raised, resulting in more precise braking and easier corner entry.
The reservoir is located on the lower mount of this upside-down shock absorber, which simplifies installation on some scooter models.
The shock absorber for Yamaha / MBK (Minarelli) impresses with premium material and manufacturing quality (CNC), the part is extremely robust and resistant, looks great and really offers everything a tuner may want or need.
The S6 R/T MK2 shock absorber is primarily intended for use on the race track, but can of course also be fitted to scooters designed for use on the road.

How to find the right shock absorber?
In general, all shock absorbers for 50cc scooters are very similar and have a 20mm wide mount at the bottom and a 10mm diameter “eye” at the top. Scooters with Piaggio engines have a 34mm wide mount at the bottom and a grub screw at the top. Of course, there are some exceptions.
Please check the dimensions on your vehicle. The length of the shock absorber can be adjusted by 2-3cm to adapt the seat height or the handling to your personal preference. A longer shock absorber enables a slightly sportier ride.
