Performance Upgrades
When it comes to extracting handling performance from your motorcycle it all starts with springs. The springs suspend the bike and rider at given ride height which in turn creates the final geometry of the motorcycle. It is the geometry that has the greatest effect on steering and drive quality. Whilst others compromise, ultimately “at your expense”….at Shock Treatment we strive to supply only the world’s highest quality springs. Once you have the best springs for your requirements, its time to concentrate on damping. Damping is pivotal to comfort, control and traction. There are a few methods and systems employed by suspension manufacturers to achieve damping performance. Ultimately these systems can be tuned, partially upgraded or completely replaced. There are many levels that damping can be tuned over.
Revalving
Revalving refers to “re-configuring” the standard valve to achieve a more desirable outcome from stock components.
Gold Valves
Gold Valves are an aftermarket valve assembly that offer an altered flow characteristic and tuning range beyond that of standard valves.
Partial System Replacement
Fork Cartridge and Shock shaft assemblies Fork cartridge and shock shaft assembly replacement kits offer the ability to entirely replace component internals to offer extended performance opportunities. Essentially a heart transplant for a new beginning…This represents is the largest possible performance gain prior to complete components replacement.
Complete Fork and Shock replacement
Quality aftermarket forks and shock absorbers available from a variety of companies offer extended performance parameters along with increased tuning range and convenience. This option creates the greatest potential for performance gain coupled with the convenience of fast component exchange. It does however come at increased cost.
