Quarq Shockwiz Fork/Shock Tuner


Measuring just 4cm across, the ShockWiz is an ingenious little device that’s designed to tell you exactly how effectively your suspension is working and what you can do to improve it. The idea started as a Kickstarter campaign, before SRAM took over development under their Quarq brand last year. Now we’re excited to have our hands on the finished product. To use it, you simply ziptie the sensor to your fork or shock, connect the air valve and go riding. The ShockWiz measures and records everything and links, via Bluetooth, to an app on your phone to give you a performance readout. Adjustments are then suggested, based on your chosen tuning preset – ‘efficient’, ‘balanced’, ‘playful’ or ‘aggressive’. We can’t wait to get out there and give it a try.
