Frequently Asked Questions
A complete motorcycle suspension system can include replacement front forks, rear shock absorbers or fork cartridge assemblies designed as ready-to-install suspension upgrades. Teknik offers systems from manufacturers including Öhlins, TracTive, YSS, KYB and other specialist brands for applications ranging from road and touring to adventure, off-road and racing.
That depends on the capability and condition of the original suspension and the level of improvement required. Springs, revalving or cartridge upgrades may provide the performance you need while retaining the original components. Complete forks or shocks can provide greater adjustability, higher-specification internals and a broader performance range where more extensive improvement is required.
Balanced front and rear suspension helps the chassis respond predictably during braking, acceleration, cornering and over bumps. Installing components with suitable spring rates and damping characteristics at both ends can provide a more consistent overall setup than concentrating on one end while leaving a significant imbalance elsewhere.
A complete fork replaces the full front suspension assembly, while a cartridge kit replaces the damping components inside the motorcycle's existing fork tubes. Cartridge kits can substantially improve damping while retaining the original fork structure. Complete forks offer a more comprehensive replacement where higher specification components or greater adjustment are required.
Teknik supplies suspension systems and components from established manufacturers including Öhlins, TracTive, YSS and KYB, along with other specialist performance suspension brands. The available products include complete shocks, complete front forks, cartridge kits, factory racing suspension and model-specific suspension systems for a wide range of motorcycles.
TracTive produces motorcycle fork cartridge kits and shock absorbers for road, touring, adventure, off-road and competition applications. The range includes rebuildable suspension, closed-cartridge systems, electronic and ESA-compatible options for selected motorcycles, and performance levels ranging from road-focused upgrades through to demanding off-road and race applications.
Yes, compatible aftermarket solutions are available for selected BMW motorcycles equipped with electronic suspension. Teknik offers ESA-compatible suspension products within its suspension systems range, including options from TracTive and Öhlins. Compatibility varies by motorcycle model and electronic system, so the exact application should be confirmed before ordering. We can also service and rebuild many BMW ESA shocks.
Many performance aftermarket shocks are designed to be serviced and rebuilt rather than discarded when seals, oil or wear components deteriorate. This allows the suspension to be maintained over the long term and, depending on the design, revalved or resprung as rider requirements change. Serviceability varies between shock models and manufacturers.
No. Motorcycle suspension systems are available for many different applications, including road, touring, adventure, custom, motocross, enduro and racing. The aim is to choose a suspension system appropriate to your motorcycle, rider weight, load and riding conditions rather than simply selecting the highest-specification racing component available. In fact for the most part the only place racing components belong is on race tracks, equipping street bikes or adv touring bikes with race suspension will often make them uncomfortably aggressive and harsh.
Start by identifying your make, model and year using the Teknik Part Finder, then consider rider weight, luggage, riding style and where the motorcycle is used. Complete shocks, fork cartridges and front forks are highly application-specific. Teknik can help compare suitable systems where several suspension options are available for the same motorcycle.
