The increasing demand for motorcycles is driving growth in the two-wheeler shock absorber market. Motorcycles, used primarily for personal transport, rely on shock absorbers to smooth vibrations and bumps, enhancing ride comfort and control. For example, in February 2025, the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (ACEM) reported that new motorcycle registrations across five major European markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) reached 1,155,640 units in 2024, a 10.1% increase from 1,049,898 units in 2023. Therefore, rising motorcycle demand is boosting the two-wheeler shock absorber market.

Key companies in this market are focusing on innovations that improve ride comfort and performance, such as adjustable twin-tube rear shock absorbers. These suspension systems feature a dual-chamber hydraulic design that allows riders to fine-tune preload, damping, and ride height. For instance, in November 2024, Öhlins Racing AB, a Sweden-based high-performance motorcycle suspension specialist, launched the TTX AR-X 40 rear shock. It features a 40 mm piston with a high-speed blow-off valve, an integrated hydraulic preload adjuster allowing up to 50 mm seat height adjustment, and compatibility with Öhlins SmartEC semi-active suspension, delivering superior damping for street, adventure, and hyper naked motorcycles.

In April 2023, TVS Motor Company, an India-based motorcycle manufacturer, acquired Norton Motorcycle Company for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition was intended to bolster TVS Motor Company's global presence in the premium motorcycle segment by leveraging Norton Motorcycle Company's esteemed brand heritage, engineering expertise, and advanced product portfolio. This move aims to enhance TVS's position in the high-performance bike market. Norton Motorcycle Company, based in the UK, is known for manufacturing two-wheeler shock absorbers.
