Valve - Fork Cartridge Emulators, Race Tech Gold Valve

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
V-Strom (DL650) '04 - '22

Damping Rod style forks are notorious for being too harsh, too mushy and too easy to bottom. Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators remedy this problem by controlling the compression damping with a tuneable valve. The Emulator sits on top of the damping rod and is held in place by the main spring.

Simply put; Emulators make damping rod forks perform like well-tuned cartridge forks. Installation and tuning for any condition or rider preference is very straight-forward. 

Simple to install and completely tunable for all conditions and rider preferences.

*Comes with RaceTech adapter to properly seat the Gold Valve cartridge into to the top of the damper rod.
