By simply replacing a motorcycle's stock shock linkage with a longer, stronger and lighter DeVol Lowering Linkage, a bike's seat height will be dramatically lower to help give those riders with shorter inseams a more confident and enjoyable ride.
- High-grade U.S. billet aluminum
- Longer linkage dramatically lowers seat height
- Hard anodized finish
- Applicable models include bearings/seals
- Step-by-step instructions
- Available for most dirt and some dual sport models
- 100% Made in the U.S.A.
The DeVol Lowering Linkage is not recommended for aggressive riders or jumping. If you need a linkage to enhance the performance of your bike's suspension, the DeVol Transformer Pull-Rod is exactly what you are looking for.
Designed and built for Dual-Sport and Adventure bikes, the Nitron Adventure Series R1, R2 and R3 shocks offer exceptional road and trail performance. Using billet aluminum components, a large heavy-duty 16mm piston rod and a high-flow capacity 46mm piston, this shock flows much more oil for a more consistent, fade-free performance than most other shocks.
Nitron shocks are custom built for your specific weight, if you have a passenger or luggage add that weight as well. Lastly your riding conditions; do you ride mainly paved roads, dirt roads, trails? Please provide a percentage of each you ride. This information is essential to the building of the shock. Enter this in the comments section of the shopping cart when you check out, or feel free to call and place your order over the phone.
Progressive Suspension springs offer a soft initial spring rate for a plush ride. Progressively wound design provides increased resistance to bottoming as spring compresses. These springs are significantly stiffer than the wimpy stock springs. Spring rate spans the .45-.62 kg/mm range.

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 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.

Here is everything you need to upgrade your TW200 front suspension. Kit includes: Heavy Duty Fork Springs, Cartridge Emulators, Oil Seals, Dust Seals, and 10w Fork Oil. Just choose the spring rate you want and enjoy your TW even more!
Stock Spring Rate is .50 kg/mm. The .60 kg/mm springs are 20% stiffer than stock while the .70 kg/mm is 40% stiffer than stock.
Installation requires disassembling your forks and drilling out your damper rods.
Included in this kit are fork springs, Cogent DDC (Drop in Damper Cartridge) performance cartridges and three bottles of 5w fork oil. Refresh those tired old forks and make them better than new. These DDCs from Cogent are easy to install. No taking the forks apart, no drilling of the damping rods, nothing. Just take them off, flip them over to drain the oil, add new 5w oil, drop in the DDCs and then add the springs and spacers and then install the caps. Preload spacer material is included with the .47 and .70 springs, additional spacers are not needed with the other kits.
This upgrade offers better control off-road as well as on. Less brake dive keeps the fork up in the middle of the stroke on-road and better control off-road whether it be rolling water bars or bouncing off the rocks.
- Rider and Gear up to 160lb. = 0.47 springs → 24% stiffer than stock
- Rider and Gear 160-225 lb. = 0.52 springs → 39% stiffer than stock
- Rider and Gear 225-275 lb. = 0.58 springs → 56% stiffer than stock
- Rider and Gear 275-325 lb. = 0.63 springs → 66% stiffer than stock
- Rider and Gear 325 lb.-UP = 0.70 springs → 84% stiffer than stock
In stock form, the forks, featuring a single spring design are under sprung for any rider over 100 pounds. With limited travel, adding a stiffer spring in the right leg only per the stock design was not a viable option.
Race Tech instead offers a Hi-Performance Spring Kit that adds a stiffer spring to the other fork. (The overall spring rate in the forks is the average spring rate between both legs.) This upgrade will make a drastic improvement in handling for most riders.

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 Ohlins Africa Twin shock has knob adjustable rebound and compression damping on a 46mm machined aluminum body combined with a hydraulic remote preload adjuster with a hose mounted actuator and mounting bracket. The gas reservoir uses a much higher quality compression adjuster/head valve along with a solid separator piston to prevent gas bleed-over. The improved adjuster circuits provide a wider range of adjustability.
Solo riders with light loads should select the 9.7 spring. 2-up riders or heavier loads select the 10.7 spring.

Patented inertia activated damping for damper rod front forks. This is the only product on the market that is smart enough to know if the wheel is trying to move or if the chassis is trying to move. We give you the best of worlds, a more stable chassis and a faster wheel response over bumps. This product will transform the front of your KLR650.
The Intiminator sits on top of your stock damper rod forcing the oil through high quality deflected discs found in top of the line shock absorbers. When the front tire hits a bump then the inertia of that bump opens the inertia valve instantly allowing for a faster response.
Installation is easy. Drain the fork oil, remove the spring, drop in the Intiminator, refill with 5W fork oil reinstall the spring and away you go.

Don't want to buy a new shock? This rebuild makes the stock shock about 10 times better. We send shocks to Cogent Dynamics. They clean them up, hard anodize the bodies for better wear, and install new Shock Shaft Assemblies with rebound damping adjustment.
Any aftermarket spring for your stock shock will fit on this shock. If you are using the original spring, you will want to order a stiffer spring to go with your new shock. Our 7.5 kg/mm rear spring is 16% stiffer than the stock one and is perfect for the majority of riders. If you are a larger rider, or carry a lot of gear or a passenger (total weight exceeding 250 pounds) you will probably want the 8.3 kg/mm rear spring which is 28% stiffer than stock.
Low shock also available. This option will lower your seat height 1" without the need for lowering links. All other features of this shock are the same as the stock height.

The Cogent Dynamics kit is a simple and effective way to improve the damping for your Africa Twin forks. The AT-1 kit includes two new replacement fork base valves to completely revalve your forks in a straightforward pre-assembled kit. This kit is the adventure proven and suspension dynamometer tested kit for your CRF1000L front suspension. It uses new CNC aluminum damping pistons, valve stacks and check systems which come to you pre-assembled onto a base valve adjuster housing. This means you won't need a micrometer and valve shim experience to achieve the results you need. The Africa Twin 45mm upside-down fork uses sealed top cartridges.
This unique arrangement allows Africa Twin owners do a simple disassembly of the fork, removing the cartridge and replacing the stock base valve assembly. Your stock valving assembly can be retained while the new AT-1 kit improves your suspension performance.
