Motorcycle DLC & TiN & PVD Coated Suspension Parts

DLC & TiN & PVD Coatings

Improve suspension durability and reduce friction with specialist Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC), Titanium Nitride (TiN) and Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) finishes for fork inner tubes and shock damper rods. Before upgrades ensure your bike is properly maintained, running fresh oil and the correct clutch setup. Teknik Motorsport are suspension tuning experts; see our history and workshop video for context.

Improve suspension response, wear resistance and longevity

  • Lower friction coatings give quicker, smoother damping and reduced seal stickiness.
  • DLC offers the highest durability; PVD gives colourful TiN/PVD finishes used by Ohlins for racing aesthetics.
  • Protects steel fork leg inner tubes and shock absorber damper rods from scratching, pitting and chemical attack.
  • Use Kashima on aluminium components where applicable: Kashima coat.

Recommended Pairings

Consider matching coatings with Suspension Tools for correct fitment and service.
