Motorcycle Suspension Setup & Service
For road riders, the handling of your motorcycle is one of the biggest factors to your safety and riding enjoyment. If you’re a track rider or racer, the handling of your motorcycle will be the single biggest factor to helping you improve your lap time and minimising crashing.
The handling of nearly every production motorcycle on the planet can be improved, elevating your confidence, riding skill and safety beyond what you think is possible.
The team at Race Center are experts in motorcycle handling but more importantly factor in your specific requirements into every job. Our industry is all too often focused only on the weight of the rider when designing your suspension specifications. However other factors such as intended use, rider experience, riding style and the desired level of safety play a massive role in the design of your suspension specifications.
In sports such as snowboarding and surfing, boards are designed for beginners, intermediate riders and experts. Agile boards designed for tricks and competition will be very hard for a beginner to learn on. It’s no different when it comes to motorcycle suspension, yet our industry doesn’t focus on this aspect. We have ended up with a perception that the best suspension for every rider is that developed by professional racers with only a weight factor taken into consideration to suit each rider. Logic tells us otherwise.
A less experienced rider will be able to ride a more stable motorcycle with much more confidence than an agile, nervous bike that has been designed for the most experience rider.
Our 15+ years of in-house R&D have taught us so much about the importance of understating each rider’s own personal experience and desired outcome. We have also used our vast experience to develop a 3 stage suspension upgrade solution to help you navigate what will best suit your needs and budget.
