We’ve been fortunate to work with some of the countries’ top Supermoto athletes. In ’05 it was Micky Dymond and Darryl Atkins. In ’07 add Benny Carlson and his AMA Open Championship to the list. Now in '09 it's Sylvain Bidart - Champion.

G2-R GOLD VALVE KIT for SUPERMOTO

HIGH PERFORMANCE FORK SPRINGS

The Rip It Energy/Aprilia Factory Supermoto Team of Benny Carlson and Darryl Atkins have been ripping it up at the AMA races this year.  Carlson has moved to the premier 450 class this year and sits a strong 5th overall in the championship points.  Atkins, who finished sixth at the season opener, now holds the championship points lead heading into the final rounds.  He has had strong results since he mounted the QTA Adjustable Fork Bottom Kits, finishing second at round 2 and he was victorious at rounds 3 and 4.

Extreme Riders' Adjustable Fork Bottom Kits

Extreme Riders Adjustable Fork Bottoms change Trail with Axle Inserts that move the axle back for Supermoto racing. QTA Adjustable Fork Bottom Kits (FBVR Series) are available for 47 & 49mm Showa, 48mm WP and 50mm Marzocchi forks. The Adjustable Fork Bottoms radically improve traction, handling, and control for Supermoto racing.

Available for most models including Honda CRF, Suzuki RM-Z250, Kawasaki KX250F and Aprilia models.

SuperMoto Suspension setup has 3 major specific considerations:

• Maximum traction.
• Pitch control – this means controlling excessive front to back movement (which really is a geometry consideration).
• Bottoming control.

Up front this means G2-R Gold Valves, Rebound Gold Valves, and proper Springs.  At the rear, Gold Valves and Springs.

Geometry

• With the use of G.M.D. Computrack we have identified major problems with the standard Supermoto setup.  To cure these problems we recommend individual measurement on our G.M.D. Computrack chassis measurement tool.  The proper setup requires new Fork Bottoms and/or Triple Clamps.

This combination is amazing (riders consistently report 2 to 4 seconds a lap improvement) and we guarantee it.
