When the back of a Sur-Ron starts knocking and steering vaguely, most people look at the shock first. The swingarm bushings are the usual culprit — they are the cheapest and most consumable part in the whole assembly. They work under load on every movement of the suspension, and they sit exactly where the rear wheel throws water and grit.
A few failures repeat on almost every Sur-Ron: a cracked steerer tube after a season of jumping, a worn front sprocket after a few thousand kilometres, play in the swingarm. These are not random breakdowns — they are the places where the design works hardest. What the parts in this group have in common: they cost tens of euros and close a problem that costs many times that to repair after the fact.
Which part closes which problem
| Part | Fits | Problem it closes |
|---|---|---|
| Head tube reinforcement, CNC | Light Bee / Segway X260 | Steerer tube cracking under jumps |
| Front sprocket 14T, steel | Light Bee / Segway X260 | Worn front sprocket |
| Swingarm bushing set, 2 pcs | Sur-Ron Light Bee | Play in the swingarm |
| Rear wheel adapter | Talaria Sting MX3 / MX4 | Fitting a Sur-Ron Light Bee X wheel to a Talaria |
| Headlight bracket | Sur-Ron Light Bee X | Mounting the front light |
Let us be straight: bushings only remove play if they are the worn part. If the play is in a bearing, a worn pivot bolt or the shock itself, changing bushings will change nothing and you will be back where you started. Find the source of the play before you order — we describe how in the section above.
What you get
A set for both ends
You are not buying a second piece separately or leaving an old bushing next to a new one — one worn bushing is enough to bring the play back.
The cheapest part in this assembly
A fraction of the price of a shock or bearings. Diagnosis starts here, not with the most expensive part.
Restores steering precision
The back stops knocking over bumps and stops stepping out in corners under load.
A wear part, not a failure
Bushings are meant to wear — that is what they are there for. You replace them like brake pads; you do not repair them.
Before you buy
This item fits the Sur-Ron Light Bee. The Ultra Bee uses a different swingarm and different bushing dimensions.
This item is a set of 2 swingarm bushings.
When to do it. During a shock or bearing replacement, or any time the rear suspension comes apart. The swingarm is already stripped then.

Check before you buy
- Model. Sur-Ron Light Bee. The Ultra Bee uses a different swingarm.
- Find out where the play is. Grab the swingarm and move it side to side with the wheel on the ground. Movement at the bushings is this purchase. Movement in a bearing or a loose axle bolt is a different repair.
- Look at the pivot bolt while you are there. Worn bushings often come with a worn bolt — new bushings on an old bolt will bring the same play straight back.
- Fitting. It means taking the swingarm mount apart. If you have never done it, hand it to a workshop — a badly reassembled swingarm is not the place to learn.
Frequently asked
Are these original parts or aftermarket?
These are 96 Power Parts items, made to the factory dimensions and mounting points. They are not Sur-Ron OEM; in several cases they are stronger than OEM, because they exist precisely where the original turned out to be the weak point.
Does fitting need a workshop?
The head tube reinforcement, the headlight bracket and the sprocket are an hour in the garage. The swingarm bushings and the wheel adapter mean taking the assembly apart — if you have never done it, hand it to a workshop. A bad job in those two places costs more than the labour.
When is the best time to fit it?
During other service on the same assembly. If the wheel, swingarm or handlebar is coming off anyway, you add one part instead of paying twice for the same job.
Does this add power or performance?
No. Nothing in this group adds power or changes gearing. These are parts that keep the bike in one piece — a completely different category from tuning.
How do I know whether I need it?
Every card in this group names a specific symptom. If you do not have the symptom, do not buy the part — with one exception: the head tube reinforcement goes on before a crack appears, because afterwards it is too late.
