Shockwave New Suspension System
The Shockwave S5-SS suspension base is designed to reduce repeated wave impacts for occupants in demanding marine environments.
You still need a seat.
Built from electropolished 316 stainless steel, it targets long-term durability in saltwater applications.
A FOX Rhythm air shock with adjustable rebound and compression works with a four-link suspension system to improve ride comfort.
According to the manufacturer, the design provides 10,2 cm of vertical travel and 3,8 cm of forward movement to reduce deceleration.
Its universal mounting concept allows installation beneath many marine seats on recreational and professional boats.

The global Marine Suspension Systems Market size is valued at approximately $1.68 billion to $1.89 billion in 2026. It is projected to experience stable, steady expansion over the next decade.
The three main competitors to the Shockwave S5-SS suspension base are:
- Ullman Dynamics – World Leader
The Norwegian company is widely recognised for its high-performance suspension seating systems. Ullman products are commonly found on search and rescue, military, offshore, and high-speed Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs). - SHOXS
Based in the United States, SHOXS manufactures suspension seating solutions for military, law enforcement, commercial, and recreational high-speed craft. The company is known for rugged, heavy-duty designs built for demanding offshore conditions. - STIDD Systems
STIDD develops premium marine seating for patrol boats, workboats, yachts, and professional vessels. Many models combine ergonomic seating with integrated suspension technology to improve comfort and reduce impact loads.
These three brands are generally regarded as the strongest competitors to Shockwave in the premium marine suspension seating market.
So proud to share that Ullman Dynamics is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
