When it comes to dirt bike suspension expertise, Stillwell Performance might as well be the only name you know. Their technical staff is passionate about dirt bikes, and about you enjoying yours, whether you need KTM suspension service or any of the other dozens of manufacturers they specialize in.

Stillwell has propelled many riders to phenomenal victories in some of the world’s most challenging and prestigious dirt biking events, and they are generous through their online presence. Here are some things to keep in mind about KTM Suspension tuning and Rockshox service as you prepare for your next ride.

You Need Quality Tuning, as Much as You Need Quality Parts

Go right ahead, hit the Stillwell Performance online store and spend a few thousand dollars on premium parts. They’re fantastic, and in the right hands they will do wonders for ride performance. The key words there are “in the right hands.”

If your suspension isn’t set up right, your expensive parts just won’t matter. Professionals don’t just throw around terms like spring rate, sag, and fork bleeding because they like to sound smart. These things matter to the suspension and performance of a bike. Do some research or take your bike in for service. Spending a ton of money on parts you don’t understand will just leave you with less money in your pocket.

Tire Pressure Matters

The reality is most riders ignore this detail. The pressure in your tires matters. Even more, there isn’t one, static tire pressure that works everywhere for everyone. The weather and track terrain are just a couple of things that play into the right tire pressure. Pay attention to this before your next ride and see if it doesn’t make a big difference.

Stillwell Performance didn’t get to be the go to brand for dirt bike suspensions by selling name brand stuff without understanding it. They get suspensions and how these great products need to be used to get the best out of your dirt bike.
