With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

The Ohlins stx22 air shock for the enduro works off of a three-way externally adjustable design that allows for both high- and low-speed compression as well as rebound adjust. The adjustment ranges are specifically for all mountain riding so they are easy to dial-in for the perfect feel. And as with the ttx the third position on the high-speed adjuster features additional platform damping that's suited for climbing stability without sacrificing traction for technical trail sections.
Side-load and friction management were also high priorities in the design as most shocks are only built to work with a bike that's in a straight line. This lead to hlins developing a high quality main seal that incorporates a bushing that only sees support when the shock sees high side loads like in corners or during a quick change in directions. This design also comes with the benefit of extremely low friction levels so when paired with the damping functions of the stx system you'll experience exceptional grip control and bump absorption.
