Pit bike suspension tuning

Once the engine's power is maximized, the focus shifts to the chassis. In racing, controlling the motorcycle is crucial, as tracks vary greatly, and riders differ in weight and riding style. The suspension is arguably the second most important aspect after the engine's power. Following the lead of Ohlins, other manufacturers from both Europe and China have begun offering their own shock absorber kits for pit bikes.

The Chinese company DNM produces a wide range of shock absorbers for all types of vehicles, from scooters to ATVs, including kits for pit bikes. Their shock absorbers are frequently found on pit bikes in Russia, such as PitsterPro. This replica of the Marzocchi fork set is priced at 350 euros.

Another Asian suspension kit manufacturer is Fastace. Alongside DNM, they rightfully hold a leading position in popularity among the public and pit bike manufacturers. Almost all BSE motorcycles are equipped with shock absorbers from this company. Recently, Fastace introduced a top-tier front fork set called Leopard, priced at 400 euros. Next come the renowned European manufacturers.
