Suspension

Damper rod forks are notorious for being both too harsh yet too easy to bottom. This is the nature of damper rod fixed orifice forks.

Cartridge Emulators make damping rod style forks perform like well-tuned cartridge forks. These tunable valves sit on top of the damping rods and are held in place by the main springs. This makes them both simple to install and completely tunable for all conditions and rider preferences.

Race Tech Cartridge Emulators make damper rod forks perform like well-tuned cartridge forks. Emulators are tunable valves that sit inside your forks on top of the damper rods and are held in place by the fork springs. Simple to install and completely tunable for all conditions and rider preferences.

Combo Kits include both Compression as well as Rebound/Mid-Valve Kits with a significant cost savings over purchasing these kits separately. In the "good 'ole days" we got away with just Compression Valving improvements. However, Rebound/Mid-Valves are critical for any modern hi-performance valving setup.

Type 3 Gold Valves are the latest version of our bolt-on fork valving system for cartridge forks. Gold Valves significantly improve the flow over stock pistons, putting valving control on the shim stack instead of the piston. This results in outstanding tuneability, improved control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance.

Includes detailed online instructions, Gold Valve Pistons, Valving Shims, and access to the Digital Valving Search (DVS) which provides specific valving stacks for your exact weight, skill and riding conditions.

G3-LD Gold Valves provide better control for any rider by creating more shim leverage and decreasing the angular shim deflection.

Top suspension performance requires firm bottoming resistance with plushness at the same time. Even the best suspension tuners can only make the stock valving design work so well. The Gold Valve Shock Suspension System is a proven bolt-on shock valving system that improves control, traction, performance and bottoming resistance.

The V-Strom suffers from poor compression damping and limp rebound damping. The Race Tech Gold Valve allows you to tune both compression and rebound valving for vastly improved performance.

• Bolt-on shock valving for riders serious about suspension performance
• Improves control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance
• Improved, long-wearing, low-friction sealing design decreases fade
• Includes complete instructions

The little WRs have decent shocks but it can surely be improved with a Rear Shock Gold Valve from Race Tech. This will improve the damping in both directions and make the clickers more responsive to adjustments.

• Improves control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance
• Improved, long-wearing, low-friction sealing design decreases fade
