Best Track Suspension for the price

[hank]

Before ANYTHING else - make sure your personal safety equipment is up to par.

Good call, Hank!

Your track bike priorities should be:

1. Safety Gear
2. Track specific tires
3. Suspension (sag/set up/service interval/components)
4. Brakes
5. Bodywork

Everything else in no particular order ... and how convenient, all these things are available through Turn One Racing

Now that was smooth.

by all measures aftermarket suspension (properly tuned) will give you a better handling bike and a more consistent ride... that may be the difference between being in the back of your group and a bump up to the next.

Or may have no impact at all to an intro rider.

True. I guess anything is possible with "may". I was just trying to keep this guy from thinking he has to go out and spend a bunch of money upgrading his bike before he ever tries the track and for the most part that just isn't so.
