Suspension Re-Valving

Whether you ride motocross, trails, street, or dunes, your suspension makes or breaks your ride. Stock suspension settings are designed to be "good enough" for the average rider, but you're not average. You're looking for more performance, more control, and more confidence on every ride. That's where suspension re-valving comes in.


What Is Suspension Re-valving?


Revalving is the process of modifying your suspension's internal valving to better match your weight, riding style, and terrain. That means changing how your bike responds to bumps, jumps, turns, and acceleration by customizing the way oil flows through your suspension internals.

It’s not just a spring swap or a fluid change. Revalving involves reshimming and modifying the suspension stack—the real science behind a smooth and responsive ride.


Why Stock Suspension Falls Short


Stock suspension is designed for a mythical average rider—100% stock weight, moderate terrain, and safe performance limits. That means if you're heavier, lighter, more aggressive, or riding in the desert instead of the track, your bike is already working against you.

Signs you need a revalve:

  • Harsh or soft landings
  • Bike "packs in" over whoops
  • Excessive bottoming out or bouncing
  • Front end dives under braking
  • Rear kicks over obstacles

Why Crow Performance and Race Tech?


We use Race Tech Suspension Technology, backed by decades of championship data, combined with local San Diego knowledge. Mike personally tunes each build based on your weight, skill level, terrain, and goals. Every suspension is revalved, rebuilt, and dyno-tested for precision.


The Bottom Line


A revalved suspension isn’t just better. It’s yours. You'll corner smoother, land cleaner, and ride longer without fatigue. Let Crow Performance dial in your suspension to turn your good ride into a great one.
