NEW PRODUCTS: Pro Series Products from Race Tech
Race Tech is excited to announce a full line of ultra-durable, specialized products for Supercross, Arenacross and Freestyle Motocross applications. Due the the extremely stiff settings required for modern Supercross racing, strain is put on components causing a high risk for failures. In order to serve the high volume of Supercross and Freestyle riders using Race Tech, they have developed 19mm Shock Shaft Kits, Stainless Steel Compression Posts, Rebound Seperator Valves, and Pressure Springs to improve both performance and safety.
19mm Shock Shaft Kits
The stock 16mm shock shafts found on most modern stock shocks are at risk of bending under the extreme circumstances of modern Supercross, Arenacross and Freestyle competition. Thus the Race Tech Pro Series 19mm Shock Shaft Kit was born, and ultra-durable shock shaft to withstand the rigors of Supercross and Freestyle. The RT Shaft Kit is 40% stronger than stock shafts!
The RT Pro Series Shock Shaft Kits also include a built in Rebound Separator, and a spring top out (instead of the stock hydraulic setup for KYB units). This provides a more free initial movement for less harshness.
17-4 Stainless Steel Compression Posts
These 17-4 Stainless Steel Compression Posts replace the stock aluminum units.Through testing and development Race Tech has found the stock units are at risk to bend with the extremely stiff setups required for modern Supercross, Arenacross, and Freestyle competition. These units are FOUR TIMES STRONGER than the stock posts and are a must for Supercross, Arenacross, and Freestyle Motocross.
The RT Shock Rebound Separator Valve (RSV) replaces the shock shaft nut with an asymmetric valve (provides a different flow rate in each direction of travel). With a stock nut, when compression damping is stiff enough, traction is sacrficed with rebound damping too slow. If damping on the rebound side is quick enough to provide good traction, it will have a mushy feel.
Shock Rebound Separator Valve
The Race Tech RSV allows for custom bleed sizes for tuning. Product Search on racetech.com provides recommended bleed sizes and instructions for drilling the bleed are included.
Dual-Chamber Pressure Springs are there to prevent cavitation. Pressure spring-rates need to match stiffer valving used for SX conditions. Proper rate Pressure Springs provide a consistent feel and smoother cornering. RT Pressure Springs fit both Showa and KYB.
