Ibis Oso Shock Removal
Added on: Oct 04, 2022
Removing the shock on the Ibis Oso is necessary to perform a full suspension service. It is important to remove the rear shock eyelet hardware when sending the shock in for service at an authorized service center.
The following materials are required:
- 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm Allen wrenches
- Torque Wrench capable of achieving 20nm
- Loctite 243
- Antiseize
The Oso is compatible with the Fox X2, Fox DHX2 Coil (MY21 and newer) and Fox DPX2 (MY18 and newer). It is not compatible with the Fox Float X, DHX, Rockshox, DVO, or Cane Creek products. When attempting to install a shock not on the approved list, please deflate the shock and cycle through the entire stroke to verify clearance.
Installing a 205x65mm trunnion shock provides 170mm of rear travel. We recommend pairing this with a 190mm Rockshox Zeb, a 190mm Fox 40 (with 48mm offset crowns), or a 180mm Fox 38.

Ibis Oso Bushing Service
Added on: Oct 04, 2022
Servicing the Ibis Oso’s linkage is essential to keeping your bike's suspension running smoothly.
The following materials are required:
- 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm Allen wrenches
- Chainring Nut Wrench
- Torque Wrench capable of achieving 20nm
- Slick Honey
- Loctite 243
- Antiseize
We recommend cleaning and re-greasing the bushings with slick honey annually, and replacing the bushings in their entirety after two seasons of use.
We strongly recommend purchasing links and replacing those, rather than trying the DIY bearing replacement route, which can result in cursing, crooked bearing installation, bruised egos, and possible damage to the link. New upper links can be purchased on our webstore.
We offer a lifetime warranty on our bushings to the original owner. Please fill out this form. You can also purchase bushings here.
To replace the swingarms bearings, we recommend taking the bike to an Authorized Ibis Retailer. This procedure is very delicate and requires professional experience as well as specialized tooling.

Marzocchi Z1 Spring Swap Guide
Added on: Aug 25, 2022
Swapping the coil spring in the Z1 is a quick and easy job. All you need is a 32 mm chamferless socket, slick honey, and your new spring.
Similar to adding or removing volume spacers, remove the air spring top cap assembly using the 32mm chamferless socket. Pull the red bottom out dumper, anti-rattle bumpers, and coil spring out of the fork.
Coat the new spring in slick honey, slide the new spring into the fork, re-install the anti rattle bumpers, and red bottom out bumper.
Re-install the air spring top cap assembly using the 32mm chamferless socket. Bounce the fork on the ground to ensure there is no coil rattle. Go for a plush and enjoyable shred!
