Load Correcting Hydraulic Perch :
These perches simply allow the spring to tilt by up to 4 degrees – as all springs will try to!, lowering twisting loads, and so reducing damper and tyre wear. This results in more available traction from the enhanced (or less wasted) mechanical grip – available in both Penske and Ohlins guises.
Shock Warmer :
Just like with tyres, a shock needs time to attain proper operating temperature; so rather than circulate for 5 or 6 laps awaiting how the damper will feel, and only then gauge your settings and dial the bike in, you can enjoy consistency from the pits. A damper will often change by around 10% when warm – drastically reducing set up time certainly compliments short practice or ride-day sessions, allowing the bike to feel the same (suspension-wise!) lap after lap, and helps you find the right direction with your settings far sooner.
