RockShox Super Deluxe Reservoir Assembly

You should consider replacing the reservoir assembly if you notice a loss of damping consistency, persistent oil leaks around the reservoir seals, or if the shock has sustained physical damage from a crash. It is also a standard part of a full-service overhaul for high-mileage shocks that have lost their factory-tuned feel.

This assembly is designed specifically for the Super Deluxe platform, but compatibility depends on your shock's stroke length. You must match the reservoir assembly to your specific stroke range—either the 37.5-65mm or the 67.5-75mm option—to ensure proper damping performance.

While it is a direct replacement part, servicing rear shocks requires specialized tools, including a shock pump and the ability to bleed the damping system correctly. If you are not comfortable working with pressurized suspension components and oil, we recommend having a professional mechanic perform the installation to ensure safety and performance.

Yes, if your current reservoir is worn or has degraded seals, replacing it should restore the shock to its original, factory-level damping performance. You can expect a more consistent, plush feel through technical terrain, as the new assembly ensures the damping circuit is properly pressurized and free of air contamination.

It is highly recommended. Since installing a new reservoir involves opening the damping system, you will need to perform a full oil change and bleed to ensure no air remains trapped in the system. Replacing the reservoir without a full service will likely result in poor performance and potential damage to the shock.
