Spring cross-over rings – MOTOWOZ spring cross-over rings give the ability to create a tunable, progressive spring package. The solution is to control the point where each spring on a multi-spring shock will cross over from one spring to the next. MOTOWOZ is one of the only companies to offer this feature without having to remove the shock from the ATV, and the springs from the shock.
With other shock companies, achieving this effect leads to a very time-consuming process. The MOTOWOZ way of doing this only takes a few minutes and gives the racer the ultimate in adjustability while staying ahead of the competition.
The key to getting good performance from an ATV shock is to tune it to the rider’s style. The ease of adjustability on MOTOWOZ product performance separates us from the pack. Let’s face it, many shocks use old technology. The ATV’s of today are much faster, have more travel and more sophisticated suspensions systems than ever. Only MOTOWOZ shocks are designed match today’s high performance machines.
One common problem is the inability of the shock to transfer fluid from the shock body to the reservoir fast enough to absorb high-speed hits. With larger diameter shafts, this is even more important. The answer is the “Big Blue Hose”. The “BBH” allows fluid to pass quickly to the reservoir, which helps to eliminate that high-speed harshness that so many ATV racers have come to accept as “unavoidable.” Allowing this fluid to pass more freely through the hose puts more control back into the valves where it should be.
Valving – VSV Technology – Valving is one of the most critical aspects of ATV shock set-up. MOTOWOZ has developed a unique “velocity sensitive valving,” or VSV system. Using the latest in CAD design software, MOTOWOZ designers developed a piston that has proven to offer a superior performance. Each piston is CNC machined from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum. The piston is then hard anodized for durability, and fitted with precision stamped valve discs.
Valve discs – The valve discs used on each piston are specific to a rider’s weight, bike set-up, and riding style. Shock valving really is an art, and set-up. Once complete, MOTOWOZ valving will react differently to every type of impact the ATV receives. The valves open instantly for fast, big hits, but remain virtually closed on small or slow impacts. This is the effect of VSV technology—only offered through MOTOWOZ.
After all that WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
MOTOWOZ shocks bring an amazing amount of technology to the ATV suspension industry, and will no doubt raise the bar in ATV racing. Serious racers are relieved to find that there is a shock meeting and exceeding expectations for performance and durability. Most importantly, any racer or recreational rider will certainly appreciate the ability of these shocks to be adjusted anytime, anywhere.
