About Us
Australian Owned and Operated
Teknik Motorsport was established in 2001 in Penrith NSW. We have always been at the same location and always specialized in motorcycle suspension systems. We are the Australian distributor for brands such as Showa, KYB, Tractive and others. We also design and manufacture our own motorcycle suspension products with an extensive testing facility. Products are distributed to motorcycle businesses and the public throughout Australasia daily.
The service division of the business both repairs, tests and installs the products we sell. A heavy degree of testing on computerized equipment is utilized. The workshop is very well equipped, clean, well lit and fully air conditioned. The workshop team consists of two technicians and a workshop controller.
At Teknik, we’re your one-stop-shop for all motorcycle suspension parts, whether you ride a road, race, enduro, motocross, adventure, fun or trail bike. And despite our proven track record of success and guaranteed results, we’re one of the best value suppliers of motorcycle shock absorbers in Australia.
If you have a problem with your bike – or if you want to enhance its performance and rideability – we encourage you to give us a call. Alternatively, order your motorcycle suspension parts online today, and we’ll have them delivered to your door in as little as 24 hours.
