Showa Factory Offroad Motorcycle Racing Kit Suspensions

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.

When your favourite motocross star rips around a dirt stadium, their forks & shocks are exactly the same as these. Top enduro trail racers have the same front & rear too - any offroad podium will feature teams using Showa factory "A-Kit" suspensions. Their racing department develops extra special parts - which are hand assembled by Genuine Parts Europe's experienced in-house race engineers & technicians plus custom tuned just for you - your bike, your weight, your terrain.

We sell complete assembled replacement A-Kit adjustable fork leg pairs or shock absorbers, matching sets of both, plus shock piston + rod internal assemblies. Inner cartridge conversion sets also graft Showa air-oil separated closed MX cartridges into OEM WP forks. These premium components feature exotic extra-hard low-friction coatings like Kashima, Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) & Rainbow Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) for the most accurate response & the least wear.

All are perfected on MXGP's toughest tracks - with external compression & rebound damping clickers & spring preload to fine tune for all riders. Their factory spring kit fork & coilover dampers come with personalized settings & spring rate, ready to bolt in, and featuring all anodized & coated internals for the minimum possible internal friction. They make an instant change, giving ultimate motorsport traction & handling - tight & controlled precision lap times are just clicks away. Consider mounting your fancy new fork legs with adjustable triple clamps too; tuning your steering is just as easy as your suspension for comfort & control.

Watching racing videos, do the winners look like they're being kicked around? That circuit star can lean further, without braking dive, sailing over cornering bumps that push you off line. That motocross hero hooks up on loosest dirt, turns quicker after landing jumps, floats over whoops that rattle you roughly. Are they more skilled? Maybe. But their motorbike is predictable & controlled, giving confidence to push grip further & time to concentrate on faster laps.

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.

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.
