We offer this level of customization because If anyone tells you "this will work perfect for you because it works for everyone else" They either never threw a leg over a real race bike and took a lap around a race track in a national race - or they are lying. The crew here at American Suspension got into this because they have raced at the top levels and they have tuned for riders at the top levels.
Each and every rider has a different personality on the bike. We want to give your personality the best possible bike.
I learned a great lesson about 30 years ago. I was tunning race bikes for a living back then. I had two top riders on two identical bikes. Nearly identical bikes, they both had completely different suspension settings. I knew both riders very well, we would walk the track and plan every turn and what we wanted the bike to do. Both riders were top riders in their day and both went on to get world class factory rides and win major national championships. We were at a racetrack where they both had nearly identical lap times.
I was of the opinion that there must be one perfect set up for the bike. That one rider set up is perfect and the other rider is so good they are compensation for a bad set up. Most suspension tuners then would tell you they know the perfect set up for you.
So, I did the logical thing. I swapped their set ups. I figured the one rider with a good set up would be upset, but the rider that had the wrong set up would be thrilled and go at least a ½ second a lap faster. I would then give both riders the “good” set up. I would then know the perfect suspension set up for this particular track.
The riders went out on first practice in the morning with swapped set ups. The first rider came in and said his bike was terrible. OK I thought, the other rider will be thrilled at how good his bike now works. But he came bike and was furious with his bikes handling as well. How could that be? I swapped the settings back; everyone was happy in the second practice. I the race my two riders swapped the lead at least twice – EVERY LAP. It was a hell of a race. They were never more than a few inches apart and the race came down to the last turn of the last lap. The rider behind drafted past the leading rider on the exit of the last turn and they were within inches across the finish line.
The moral of the story? Every rider has their own style. Even the fastest of professional riders on otherwise identical bikes may require completely different set ups. These guys were very similar weight and build, yet they prefeed completely different set ups.
