Suspension tuners
Design better stacks and explain changes clearly.
Motorcycle suspension engineering book
The Suspension Engineer's Handbook
A practical engineering reference for tuners, engineers, workshop owners, race teams and advanced riders.
Who the book is for
Built for people making suspension decisions
Engineers
Connect damping theory with practical motorcycle hardware.
Workshop owners
Build repeatable service and revalving processes.
Race teams
Improve testing structure and rider feedback loops.
Advanced riders
Understand what the bike is doing and why.
Topics covered
From fluid mechanics to track testing
Fluid mechanics
Flow, pressure differential and damping force foundations.
Shim stack design
Stack stiffness, crossover behavior and valving strategy.
Base valves
Compression architecture, bleed and support.
Mid valves
Control, check springs and stroke-position behavior.
Springs
Rates, sag, preload, wheel rate and balance.
Damping theory
Low-speed, mid-speed and high-speed damping direction.
Telemetry
How data can support rider feedback and test planning.
Testing
Structured changes, notes and confidence-building baselines.

Testimonials
What readers and tuners use it for
Workshop tuner
"It gives language and structure to changes we used to describe only by feel."
Race mechanic
"The damping curve sections helped us make cleaner test plans."
Advanced rider
"I finally understood why the bike needed more than clicker changes."
