Most riders upgrade suspension one end at a time — a new fork this season, a shock swap next season, whenever the budget allows. It's a reasonable way to spread out the cost, but it leaves you riding on two components that were never tuned to work together. The RFloXa Hawk 31 Max + RAB50RC bundle skips that compromise entirely: a matched fork and shock, both built by the same manufacturer to the same adjustment philosophy, sold as one package.
Why Front and Rear Suspension Should Be Matched, Not Mixed
Suspension is a system, not two independent parts. When your fork has more travel and a softer compression curve than your shock, the bike wallows in the rear and dives up front under braking — or the opposite, if you upgraded the shock first. Pro riders and suspension tuners will tell you the same thing: balance matters more than either component in isolation. Buying a fork and shock from two different brands means guessing at spring rates and damping curves that were never designed to complement each other. Buying the bundle removes the guesswork.
What's in the Hawk 31 Max + RAB50RC Bundle
The Hawk 31 Max fork brings 228mm of suspension travel and a 37mm standpipe diameter, CNC-machined from AL6061-T6 aluminum. The fork bridges are wider than OEM, which opens up compatibility with wider front tires, and the dropcrown design keeps geometry optimal whether you're running max travel or a 21-inch front wheel. Compression (high-speed and low-speed), rebound, and spring preload are all adjustable, so you can dial the front end for anything from smooth fire roads to rocky technical sections.
On the rear, the RAB50RC shock delivers 265 x 83mm of travel with an external nitrogen reservoir and hydraulic puncture protection — features you'd normally only find on shocks well above this price point. Like the fork, it adjusts high-speed and low-speed compression, rebound, and spring preload. Spring options come in 450lb (for riders in the 80–100kg range) or 550lb for heavier riders, so you're not stuck running a spring rate that's wrong for your weight from day one.
Install Notes and What to Expect
Both units are direct-fit for the platforms RFloXa supports — no adapter plates, no custom machining. Installation follows the same process as any fork and shock swap: remove the stock units, transfer over any platform-specific hardware, and torque everything to spec. Where this bundle saves real time is in setup afterward. Because the fork and shock were engineered around the same damping targets, you're not spending a weekend chasing balance between an aggressive fork and a soft shock (or vice versa). Start with the recommended baseline settings for your spring rate, ride a lap, and fine-tune compression and rebound from there — most riders land on a setup they're happy with in one or two sessions instead of a full season of trial and error.
One detail worth planning around: because the RAB50RC's travel and the Hawk 31 Max's travel are both longer than most stock setups, double-check your chain length and any brake line routing before your first ride. It's a five-minute check that saves a trailside surprise.
Who This Bundle Is For
This kit fits the Surron Light Bee X, Surron Ultra Bee, Talaria Sting and XXX, and E-Ride Pro SS/SR platforms. It's the right call if you've already outgrown what stock suspension can do — riders pushing into technical trail, hitting bigger jumps, or just riding aggressively enough that the factory fork and shock feel disconnected from each other. If you're only riding smooth, mellow terrain, you may not need the full travel and reservoir damping this bundle offers. But for anyone building a bike meant to handle real trail abuse, matched front-to-rear suspension is one of the highest-value upgrades available — right up there with brakes and foot pegs on the list of changes riders notice on the very first ride.
Speaking of foot pegs: if you're upgrading suspension to handle standing through rougher terrain, pair it with a proper platform underfoot. The Warp 9 E-Moto Elite Foot Pegs give you the stability to actually use the extra travel you just added — a forged 7075-T6 platform that's a natural next step once your suspension is dialed in.
Ready to Match Your Suspension?
A mismatched fork and shock will always feel like two separate upgrades instead of one balanced bike. The RFloXa Hawk 31 Max + RAB50RC bundle solves that from the first install.
