Motorcycle DLC & TiN & PVD Coated Suspension Parts

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. First steps are basics - make sure your bike is properly maintained, clean, no leaks, fresh oil, good clutch setup. Remove any extra weight. Fit grippy tyres. You've got the perfect starting point! Quality suspension comes next & Teknik Motorsport are motorcycle suspension tuning experts.

Watching racing clips, do the winners look like they're being kicked around? That tarmac track star leans further, without braking dive, 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 their motorbike is doing what it's told, predictable & controlled, giving confidence to push further & time to concentrate on faster laps.

You've seen those exotic shiny colourful coats on their forks & shocks, and if you want podiums you should look at these special slippery coatings too. Ohlins used gold Titanium Nitride (TiN) on their tubes & racing departments everywhere started using aerospace tricks too. Extra hard wearing Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) or spectacular rainbow Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coats are used on these ferrous metal parts - Kashima anodizing should be used on aluminium components.
