Every component of the front fork has an important role to play.
The desired performance is not obtained by the function of only one part, but by the total of all parts in the front fork.
It is difficult to obtain satisfactory characteristics.Many bikes are compromised.
In response to the voices of such riders, NAG racing service has decided to sell a set of BURRITO + Initial Adjuster.
[About NDS BURRITO]
There are many replacement parts available for motorcycle rear suspension, and many of them can be changed in detail.
However, most of the front forks are not in the lineup or are extremely expensive.
As many of you may know, there are two types of telescopic front forks, "Cartridge (inner rod) type" and "Floating valve type", because of the difference of their internal structure.
The cartridge type has a wide range of damping characteristics from high speed to low speed (stroke speed, not vehicle speed) and is easy to install damping adjustment mechanism.However, due to the large number of parts, the cost is high.
On the other hand, the floating valve type can be manufactured at a low cost because of its simple mechanism.However, on the other hand, it is difficult to provide variable damping characteristics covering both high and low speed ranges like the cartridge type.It is also difficult to install an external damping adjustment mechanism.
Until around the 1990s, the floating valve type was the mainstream, but in recent years, especially for sports models, the cartridge type has been adopted.
Type has become the mainstream.The expensive replacement front forks are also of this cartridge type.
However, in the new vehicle market these days, there are some high-end models with high cost, while there are more low-priced models with low cost, and this polarization is progressing.
The former tends to have expensive fully adjustable cartridge forks, while the latter has the old-fashioned floating valve forks.
Therefore, NAG racing service started the development of the floating valve fork, wondering if it is possible to give a wide range of damping characteristics like the cartridge type to the floating valve fork of the recent low price model as well as the old vehicle.
The Neco-Ashi damper system "BURRITO" has been completed.
Such valves were already sold under the trade name of "Cartridge Emulator", but the conventional valves were mainly used to enhance the damping characteristics of the pressure side.
NAG racing service thought that the damping characteristics of not only the pressure side but also the rebound side were important, so the damping characteristics of both the pressure side and the rebound side were reviewed greatly and the structure was made to be able to adjust them (*).
If you have floating valve fork and you are not satisfied with its damping characteristics, or if you have installed replacement springs and you feel the damping is not enough, or if you have installed replacement rear suspension and you feel the balance with the front suspension has been lost, this is the part you should try.
(*) Damping on the elongation side can be adjusted by shims and valve thickness.
