Frequently Asked Questions

What forks does this fit?

Damping rod style forks found on many cruisers and touring bikes. Verify your fork uses a damping rod (not a cartridge) before ordering.

Do I need to remove my forks to install this?

No — the cartridge emulator sits atop the damping rod and is held by the main spring. Installation does not require fork removal or disassembly.

How does this improve harsh and bottoming-out forks?

The adjustable valve replaces the fixed orifice design, allowing you to dial in damping curves like a cartridge fork instead of being limited to spring rate and oil viscosity changes.

Can I adjust the damping after installation?

Yes — the cartridge is tunable. Race Tech provides adjustment procedures for compression and rebound damping to suit your weight and riding style.
