Motorcycle Suspension Performance Upgrades

When most riders talk performance the first thing they think of is POWER - but if you're smart, that's the last on the list. Shoving grunt into a chassis that can't cope builds a scary bucking bronco. You'll slide back down through the pack. The first steps are basics - make sure your bike is properly maintained! Clean, no leaks, fresh oil, good clutch setup. Remove any weight you can. Some grippy tyres. Perfect starting point.

Quality suspension is next. Teknik Motorsport are motorcycle suspension tuning experts - it's all we do.

Watch some racing videos - do the winners look like they're being kicked around? That circuit star can lean further, without dive under braking, sailing over cornering bumps that push you off line. That motocross hero hooks up on the loosest dirt, turns quicker after landing jumps, floats over whoops that rattle you roughly.

Are they more skilled? Maybe. But they aren't fighting their motorbike, so have confidence to push grip further & time to concentrate on quicker lines. Their laps are faster because they're predictable & controlled, doing what it's steering is told. This is important for novices & juniors - being thrown around & struggling means they aren't learning as much race craft - often getting disappointed & discouraged with motor sports.

Tuned suspensions aren't just for the track though. Riding on potholed tarmac or offroad trail adventures improves too - a smooth ride, comfortable saddle no longer absorbing corrugations & vibration, longer endurance. Keeping safe tyre contact with the road under all conditions gives more grip & acceleration.

We sell complete replacement adjustable fork legs & coilovers from OEM manufacturers & aftermarket brands, DIY upgrades & kits, internal damper modifications for tuning factory forks & shock absorbers, strong protective friction-less coated case & tube components plus individual servicing parts.

So now you've built up some skills & experienced riding a competent bike, how about setting up your gearing for better lap times & ridability? You're finally ready to turn up the wick with a screaming tuned engine & a blasting aftermarket muffler - but have a think about it first.
