"THE NEED FOR SUSPENSION"
THE BASICS
One of the most overlooked aspects of increasing a rider’s
performance is suspension. A rider may have the fastest bike
with incredible power, but if the bike cannot be controlled
properly or the rider fatigues prematurely all other performance
enhancers are lost. The lack of properly understanding of
how a high performing tailor-made suspension directly improves
traction, control and comfort cannot be overlooked. Once the
decision has been made to confront the issue of suspension
then and only then can the total performance package be delivered.
THE MANUFACTURE'S ROLE
Unfortunately manufacturers cannot address suspension to meet
the needs of an individual rider seeking superior performance.
Manufacturers mass-produce suspension that must cover a wide
variety of riders, conditions and terrain. For example, a
manufacturer’s suspension must be capable of carrying a 105LB
rider on a sand track as well as a 300LB rider on a hard packed
super cross course. Based upon this, the need for a tailor-made
suspension becomes vital for all riders seeking optimum performance
at any skill level.
THE GOALS
The goals of riders, racers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike
are really the same. How can they maximize control, performance
and safety while delivering the highest level of enjoyment,
comfort and benefit? The answer is suspension. Most modern
day dirt bikes make enough power to win races in stock trim
but with out proper suspension much of this power will never
hit the ground.
THE VARIABLES
The bike, suspension, application, rider and conditions are
not all the same. They vary in many different ways. How the
bike, suspension and the rider respond depend largely upon
how accurately all these factors have been assessed. In building
the best suspension tailored for the individual, the suspension
company must look at each of these variables separately and
then address them as a whole.
- The Bike.
What make, type, and year of bike will be used?
- The Application.
What types of racing and or riding will the suspension and
bike encounter?
- The Conditions. Under what
type of conditions will the bike be raced and ridden?
- The Rider.
How much does a rider weigh? What are the rider’s height
and ability? What are the rider’s strengths and weaknesses?
THE DECISION
Once a decision is made to customize a suspension the choices
of who will perform the work will be crucial. Often the choices
available to the customer can be misleading, uninforming and
fundamentally incorrect. Suspension shops and producers are
not all alike and do not use the the same components. They
have vastly different philosophies on the engineering aspect
of what works best and why. The majority of suspension providers
and approaches fail to address the complete formula that delivers
the best solution to meet the specialized needs of the individual,
many times they do what works for the masses because it is
easier.

with a new philosophy, innovative approaches and cutting edge
research and development. Born out of this new approach MX-Tech
