Product Details
Brand:TurboTouch and Kaabo [FIBRO]
Replacement suspension rubber bush (damper) to suit Kaabo Mantis, available as:
Kaabo Factory Original elastomer
Front: 16x6x46mm
Rear: 16x6x51mm
The Kaabo Factory Spare bushes are sourced from the Mantis 10 spare parts list and can be cut down to 30mm to accommodate Wolf Warrior X.
or aftermarket, softer compound, Fibroflex-Tubular Green (80 Shore A).
Typically required when renewal of existing suspension bush is required, including premature failure from dust/dirt build up.
Supplied individually, order 2PCS for front and rear.
Notes:
Use of petroleum / oil based products is not recommended. eScootNow recommends cleaning bush and spring using a silicone flush (often ~$8 can at ALDI Special Buys) followed by PTFE spray (such as the 300g can from SCA).
If you need to renew springs, Genuine Kaabo (Brown's painted red) or Aftermarket Brown are sufficient replacements and can be sourced readily from AliExpress. eScootNow does not stock these as they are rarely required if bush has been maintained in good condition. The stock red Kaabo factory springs are fine and optimised pretty well for the design of the Warrior. X. The springs are not "square" which provides optimal travel / compression which cannot be attained with aftermarket "square" springs. The stock twin suspension can feel to feel "firm" for lighter riders, however provides better travel than lighter rated springs such as "square green" or indeed the original load "square brown" (equivalent to Kaabo red). Overall the longer travel of the genuine Kaabo spring provides better capability and performance than lighter square springs that have less travel. In instances with prolonged use with torn/worn bushes, it is recommended to renew the stock red springs before considering aftermarket alternative springs.
Don't forget to use a medium thread locker (such as Blue Loctite) on the high tensile suspension bolts and pair screws!
Special notes for Application in Wolf Warrior X:
The Warrior X bush is identical to the Mantis 10 bush, just shorter - in which case you could cut it down.
Kaabo Spares Price List suggests Warrior X bush is "Spring shock absorption rubber rod 16x6x30mm". There has been mention of a longer version spring (50mm) so perhaps there are some variances across these models.
So just trim down a 46 or 51mm Mantis 10 bush with a sharp Stanley knife and you're done.
