Technical Performance
The LOS Shock Cap Set represents the pinnacle of aftermarket suspension engineering for Losi's 1/4 scale Promoto-MX and Promoto-SM RC motorcycles. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium—a premium aerospace-grade material—these components deliver exceptional strength whilst maintaining minimal weight addition, ensuring your suspension system remains responsive and tuned for optimal handling characteristics. The precision CNC machining process ensures tolerances that plastic injection-moulded components simply cannot achieve, resulting in perfect fitment and alignment with your existing Promoto-MX suspension geometry. The black anodised finish is not merely decorative; it provides genuine corrosion resistance that extends component lifespan, particularly important if you're riding in wet conditions common throughout the UK. The upper and lower shock cap design works in harmony with your Promoto-MX's suspension system, protecting internal shock components whilst distributing forces more effectively across the aluminium structure. This engineering approach delivers measurable improvements in suspension responsiveness, durability under aggressive riding conditions, and overall bike reliability. For UK-based RC enthusiasts using ready-to-run RC motorcycle platforms, upgrading to these aluminium shock caps is a recognised method of enhancing suspension longevity and performance without requiring complete suspension overhauls or expensive rebuild kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Promoto models are these shock caps compatible with? — These shock caps are designed for and compatible with the Losi 1/4 Promoto-MX Motorcycle RTR in all variants including the FXR (Red), Pro Circuit, and Club MX (Blue) models. They are also compatible with the Losi 1/4 Promoto-SM FXR Supermoto Motorcycle RTR. These are direct fit components requiring no modifications or additional parts.
- Why should I upgrade from the stock plastic shock caps? — The stock injected plastic shock caps, whilst functional, are more susceptible to cracking, breaking, and degradation under intense riding conditions and repeated impacts. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction used in this aftermarket set provides significantly superior durability, improved resilience, and longer component lifespan, particularly if you're regularly bashing your Promoto-MX on challenging terrain or pushing it at speed.
- Are these easy to install? — Yes, these are direct fit option parts engineered specifically for the Promoto-MX, requiring no other parts and no complex installation procedures. If you're comfortable performing basic maintenance on your RC motorcycle, you can install these shock caps in minutes without specialist tools or technical knowledge.
- Will these shock caps improve my handling and performance? — Whilst shock caps primarily enhance durability and aesthetics rather than dramatically altering suspension geometry, the improved structural integrity of the aluminium construction ensures your suspension system maintains optimal alignment and responsiveness throughout extended riding sessions, preventing the flex and degradation that can occur with plastic components.
- What is the benefit of the black anodised finish? — The black anodised surface treatment provides genuine corrosion and oxidation resistance, extends component lifespan particularly in wet or muddy riding conditions, and delivers a premium professional aesthetic that distinguishes your Promoto-MX from stock models and reflects serious riding intent.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst these are an upgrade component, they are straightforward to install and compatible with ready-to-run Promoto-MX models at all skill levels. Beginners will benefit from the improved durability and reduced maintenance requirements, whilst experienced riders will appreciate the performance reliability they provide during competitive sessions.
