Why does the Sirris R38 need its own linkage?
Because the R38 is a larger shock than the one the E Ride leaves the factory with, and the stock link does not give it the mounting geometry it needs. Prickly designed this link around the specific geometry of the Sirris R38 Rear Shock rather than adapting the factory linkage to a bigger shock, and the listing calls it an essential part of completing an R38 rear suspension upgrade on the supported E Ride models.
How is the Prickly linkage made?
Precision CNC-machined from billet aluminum, then anodized. Prickly states the purpose-built design delivers the strength required for aggressive e-moto riding, and the premium anodized finish is there for long-term durability. The photos show the link alone with its bearings pressed in, in Black and in Raw; the listing names no dimensions or torque figures.
Does it bolt straight on?
Yes. The direct bolt-on design makes it a straightforward swap for the factory linkage on the Pro-SS 3.0, Pro-SS 4.0 and Pro-SR. No bolts are named on the listing, so the OEM linkage bolts are reused. Note that Prickly designs this link specifically for the Sirris R38; it is not listed for any other shock.
