Fork Revalve
A fork revalve involves customising the damping of the bike. We will modify it to suit your riding level and style, and the terrain you ride on. Each terrain: rocks, sand, hard and soft ground, has its own damping requirements. By getting a revalve the bike can handle your riding skill set and needs much better, making your performance more predictable. See below for this service.
We aim to make this service as easy as we can for the customer. You can either bring your bike or loose suspension to our workshop as we have the facility to accommodate all makes and models on-road and off-road. For loose suspension speak to a member of staff and we will arrange a collection. Easy and stress-free.
