motovita Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Has anyone here ordered from them, or is there a dealer for them? I've emailed them and got no answer. How you rate their shocks compared to Falcon and Rock shocks? The application is a TY250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony283 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm currently using them on my TY250A Superglitz. I tried them on my Majesty mounts but have since switched back to the standard mounts where I feel they provide a better action. I also have the Magical fork springs fitted. Value for money ?? time will tell! Perhaps the better shock in the US is the Falcon which you can have custom made by BJ Racing.

51mon Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I bought a set of Magicals to use on my Fantic and was initially really pleased with them. I'd asked for the quicker action rebound which was maybe a bit too quick but that said, they never did my riding any harm. 6 months on, the coating on the spring had worn off (between the springs where they touch during compression - not from being chipped in a fall etc.) and the springs had gone rusty. The seals had also started leaking and what with them not being re-buildable this wasn't as easy a fix as say Rockshocks or Falcons. Customer service was basically non existing when I questioned the dealer with him telling me "the shocks are only covered by warrantee until they are fitted to the bike"!! Not much use. I have since purchased some Falcons and although I haven't riden with them yet, the build quality is a level up compared the Magicals and on top of that they're re-builable. Hope that helps.

andy m Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Been using Falcons for a while now, not had any gripes with them at all. Will be buying some for the TLR build soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitley Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Cant go wrong with falcons, had them 7 years on my 250 majesty, got betor alloy ones on my 200 majesty, these shocks feel just as good as the falcons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlife Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Dont know about Falcons.but have a couple of twinshocks some with Betor units but have a 240 Fantic with a set of Rockshocks cant see how they could be better.And they are rebuildable at home no sending them away.

ausy300pro Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I have rock shocks on my Majesty, faultless service from company owner (have to add my two pennarth and say unlike the seller of the magicals stuff), and as good performance from a twin shock rear end as I can tell, (maybe if your name is Toni you could say the magicals or the falcons perform better), springs as received and tried were slightly too hard, not using all the travel, John sent me softer springs on an exchange basis just for a couple of quid postage to send orginals back, no not working for rock shocks just makes a change to deal with a company as good as they are.

old trials fanatic Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Think you will find the UK distributor will be changing soon so hopefully the after sales service issues will improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motovita Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Dammit! Falcons backordered. Email in to Rock shocks, waiting for response. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony283 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Did you try Bob at BJ Racing? he will custom build them for you and you won't have to pay import duty (springs) from the UK. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
