Independent Suspension Specialist
Most modern mountain bikes, dirt bikes, freeride, street or trail bikes have Bicycle Suspension Systems that out value all other components on your bike, including the frame. Suspension Systems (front forks & rear shocks) are vital to the overall performance and enjoyment of your bike. Your ability to soak up trail bumps, take on steep downhill sections, cruise freeride runs, or land big Jumps is determined by the quality and set up of your bike’s suspension system.

Custom Tuning Options Available
Your bike’s forks and shocks should complement your riding style, ability, aggression, terrain and body weight. Most modern suspension systems incorporate complex damping systems that can be tuned to allow for rider specific customisation. In short, customising your bike's forks and shocks to suit you.
Some Custom tuning techniques include… tweaking oil viscosity, varying softness of coil springs, adjusting negative springs to improve small bump performance and reduce bobbing for XC / DH racers, adjusting fork travel, installing upgrade items to your old Fork etc.
Perhaps there is just something with your suspension that is “doing your head in”! If so tell us about it. We are confident that we will fix it for you, sometimes by consulting manufacturers but mostly by using our own experience and gut instinct as riders and mechanics. It’s all about feedback so please let us know how your Kit is working, before and after a Weldon service. Insights and learnings from customer feedback is the “eyes and ears” of our business. From trails to those steep DH sections, the more info we get from you the better.
