The Perfect Ride....
The perfect ride is both plush
and firm at the same time. Not mushy yet not harsh with great feel and bottoming
resistance. These requirements seem to contradict each other, soft and firm. So how do we
make the ride both plush and firm?
Proper suspension setup begins
with correct springs. Most sport bikes have soft springs yet they're harsh. This is
because the standard damping system comes into play creating excessive high speed
compression damping. This creates a "spike" when you hit square edge shape bumps
(pothole, expansion joints, etc.). Therefore we manufacture High Performance Springs as
well as valving kits like Gold Valves and Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators. The combination
of proper springs and proper damping is extraordinary.
Remember, "The best
you've ridden is the best you know!"

Gold Valves & Gold
Valve Cartridge Emulators "What's the difference?";
There are two types of forks,
Cartridge Forks and Damping Rod Forks. Cartridge Forks are used predominantly on modern
Sport Bikes and Road Racers. In stock form this style fork offers more precise damping
control than older style Damping Rod Forks. Race Tech produces Gold Valves to improve the
characteristics of Cartridge Style Forks.
Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators
were invented by Race Tech's Paul Thede to give older style Damping Rod Forks the same
advantages as well tuned Cartridge Forks with Gold Valves.
Gold Valves have proven to
dramatically improve the ride of any and all forks in use today!
Gold Valveä Fork Kits
(for cartridge forks)
What does the ultimate front end
feel like? It's controlled, doesn't dive excessively, it's firm yet plush at the same
time. Stock cartridge forks, at best, are a compromise and some are downright poor. The
fact that you have a cartridge system doesn't necessarily mean that it works well. The
stock valving systems can be modified but they all have major limitations. The solution is
Gold Valves. By improving the piston design we are able to give outstanding performance
and tuneability. And, as with other Gold Valve Products, they can be installed and tuned
by any competent mechanic.
The Gold Valve Kit comes with the
"Fork Maintenance and Gold Valve Installation Video" to ensure ease of
installation.
Used by factory Team Suzuki
Yoshimura, Team Yamaha 600 Super Sport, Team Bartels Harley and other top teams.

Gold Valveä Cartridge Emulatorsä
(for damping rod forks)
Damping rod forks have never been known
for precise control and maximum traction. Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators solve this
dilemma. Track tests consistently result in improvements of more than a second a lap
while, at the other end of the spectrum, Street and Sport riders give rave reviews.
What do the Experts say?"
The Valve completely transformed our
YZF600 testbike's front end. The results were amazing."
-Motorcyclist September 1994
Many rebound valving systems are
grossly inadequate. No matter what modifications are attempted, the forks will never
perform with precision and control. If you race or you simply want the best, Race Tech's
Rebound Gold Valve's are the solution.
