Bike Set-up.
Motorcycle Suspension School, Bike Set-Up course.
Bike Set-Up is often described as a dark art. By following basic principles that myth can be blown apart. Students learn practical methods on how to optimise chassis performance for road and track use.
The tutorials and practical exercises are all designed for students to gain an advanced understanding of suspension, chassis tuning and grip optimisation.
