Malossi RS24 rear shock absorber (290 mm) – precise chassis upgrade for Derbi Senda & Gilera RCR/SMT 50

If you want to make your chassis noticeably sportier and more controlled, the Malossi RS24 is one of the most well-known solutions from the Malossi range. Malossi has stood for top quality in engine tuning and chassis optimization for decades – and that is exactly why the "RS" shock absorber series has been manufactured at PAIOLI for many years. The result: outstanding quality, clean workmanship, and very precise damping performance.

The RS24 is the classic of the series and is one of the most sought-after dampers in racing series such as the ESC. Its compact design seems inconspicuous, but it is full of high-tech: the damping works with two separate chambers (gas and oil chamber). Because of this, no external reservoir is necessary. You get a setup that is just as convincing in everyday use as it is during sporty driving – however without TÜV approval.

With the appropriate axle distance of 290 mm, this rear RS24 is perfect as an upgrade for many 50ccm supermoto and enduro models, e.g., on the Derbi Senda 50 or the Gilera RCR 50 or Gilera SMT 50. Especially on the Derbi Senda 50, the Malossi RS24 ensures a significantly more stable rear end and more feedback when steering in and accelerating out.
