Oem Trim / Test notes:  Overall a very good bike in oem trim with many riders able to moto on loamy smooth tracks and big jumps without too much issue.  Under race conditions and on rough, choppy tracks we have found the oem setting to be too firm especially on initial action and under hand feeling through the grips.  It’s a simple setting / valving change required to transform these blue bikes to have a plusher feeling while still retaining great holdup.  Tested Settings are available across the board from ABC -VET level thru to A professional motocross.

Optional Krooz Racing Performance parts:

Shock

Highspeed Compression piston – High flow Alloy piston to reduce highspeed shaft induced compression spikes.

Performance Linkage- Allows rear end hold down and a flatter bike into the turns without the need to reduce shock spring preload.   Retaining excellent drive out of the turns and reducing sudden weight transfer under heavy braking scenarios.

Fork

Mid Valve Post Assembly – The oem mid valve compression and rebound post we have tested to be best suited for pro and high A level riders only.  Our Krooz Racing Midvalve post assembly allows a much plusher feeling in hand and a smoother overall suspension action better suited to most Aus MX applications and harsh conditions.
