RockShox Nude RLC3 Rear Shock

The Nude designation indicates this is a proprietary shock developed specifically for certain bike brands, often featuring unique damping tunes and integration with remote lockout systems that differ from standard aftermarket RockShox shocks.

This shock uses a 185mm x 55mm Trunnion mount configuration. You must verify that your frame is designed for this specific eye-to-eye length, stroke, and Trunnion mounting interface before purchasing, as these dimensions are not interchangeable with standard eyelet-mount shocks.

The DebonAir spring increases the negative air volume, which makes the initial part of the shock's travel much more sensitive. This results in better small-bump compliance and a smoother transition through the mid-stroke compared to standard air springs.

Yes, this shock is compatible with volume spacers. You can add or remove them to change the progression of the spring curve, allowing you to tune how much bottom-out resistance you have for your specific riding style.

The lockout switch is mounted directly on the shock body. While it is accessible, it is designed primarily for quick adjustments before a climb or descent rather than on-the-fly toggling during technical sections.

These tunes represent the factory-set damping characteristics. A medium tune is the standard baseline for most trail bikes, providing a balanced feel that works well for a wide range of rider weights and suspension kinematics.
