Shock mounts provide an important role in a Slingshot's suspension system. The purpose of a shock mount is to provide the shock a secure anchoring point without inhibiting the shock's ability to move freely as the Slingshot moves over rough terrain or takes turns. With the addition of a good shock mount a Slingshot's shock is better able to brace against the stresses of the road, leading to a smoother ride with less vibrations or other disturbances. A strong shock mount is also important purely for the sake of structural integrity within the Slingshot. A low quality shock mount will put more stress on surrounding parts, meaning a higher quality part will help to increase both the life expectancy and performance of a Slingshot's suspension.
