Our Shockcraft (& Biken) suspension technician is moving to Canada so we'll need someone new from May 2024. Come and work at the sharp end of the industry and help drive innovation as our new Full Time Suspension Technician.

Repost from MOTOREX - Oil of Switzerland: We didn’t think Matthew Fairbrother actually stopped riding his bike long enough to wash it, but the rumours are in fact true! 😂

Motorex Bike Clean in action. This is awesome stuff and we use on our own bikes, cars, trailers etc etc here at Shockcraft. Simply spray on, leave for 3 minutes and spray off with water to get a bike that's cleaner than you ever thought possible.
Safe for all paint, plastics and carbon.

Purple Hayes are back. The legendary Hayes Brakes A4 Dominions dressed with royal purple levers and calipers.
Purple Hayes pays homage to the legendary Purple Hayes from 2000, linking over 2 decades of brake development back to the original Hayes Disc Brakes, which are still competitive today.
The World Cup winning Hayes Dominions have the best power, feel and reliability in the industry. Which is perfect when you're a normal rider without a team of mechanics.
Here at Biken & Shockcraft we've been riding and testing the Dominions since way before they were released. Our Prototypes have over 5 years riding. Zero problems.
Strictly limited stock of Purple Hayes available from Biken and Shockcraft.

are Stopping the Unstoppable with & .
Sam Blenkinsop is an unstoppable force on two wheels. He's famous in NZ and worldwide since ages ago and he is the reason the current generation won't ride with gloves.
His technique and “flow” has made him unstoppable as an athlete but his passion for the sport also knows no limits.
The best riders need the best brakes. Dominion A4 brakes give Sam the fine control and raw power to take his riding to the next level, stopping only when and how he decides to… going faster, harder and higher thanks to superior control.
