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.
Stock rear shocks are engineered to a cost, so only serious sports & offroad bikes feature factory damping adjustment. Very basic coilovers don't have customisable spring preload or may not be built for servicing at all. You'd be amazed what our performance modifications can achieve - plus how much cheaper tuning can end up - our OEM based dampers have won racing championships. But sometimes it isn't cost effective putting that time into developing a compromised design.
These aftermarket coilovers are a quick & easy bolt in upgrade for any DIY garage mechanic. Each shock absorber type features three levels of adjustability; a cost effective 1 way adjustable shock where single knob clicks tune both compression & rebound damping together, a more advanced 2 way adjustable shock has separate clickers for comp & reb, while a premium quality 3 way adjustable shock also allows skilled tuners to customise high & low speed comp pressures split separately.

These tuneable shock absorbers allow you to improve steering, braking, safety, comfort & traction on any terrain with any rider. Once worn out, all the consumable internal components can be repaired to new by a workshop without any specialist machining, saving money & resources.
For classics we offer a range of matching twin shock absorber packs. Older swing arm suspensions don't need to feel their age - you can fine tune the adjuster pairs soft or firm to get the same consistent handling, confident stability & precision control as a modern bike. We even have fronts for the CanAm Trike!
Some advanced monoshocks don't need manual setting options - we have upgraded ESA compatible shocks. Stronger & more reliable than the standard BMW manufacturer parts, these electronically controlled dampers gain a wider dynamic damping range & faster response times, plus retain total functionality - complete dash integration with zero errors or warnings. Plugging directly to the existing wiring, our replacements give optimal smoothness without sacrificing any practicality.
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 the loosest dirt surface, 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.
