Question : What bike modification has the most impact on performance? Answer: Suspension! Suspension! Suspension! You may be surprised to know that the answer is not extra power. The greatest gain is to be faster through the corner, not in a straight line. Improving the suspension allows you to brake later, carry more corner speed, accelerate earlier, and reach your top speed quicker. |
And the best for the end

The best example is on a race track, where approximately 80% of the lap time is spent entering and exiting corners. If a bike can corner just a fraction of a second faster on every corner, 80% of the lap time must show an improvement. We've calculated, a 100 bhp 750cc bike would need to squeeze another 40-50 bhp to achieve the same gain. |
Ok mate, it comes from an Hyperpro leaflet and of course they were not going to tell us that changing our suspension is useless, but anyway, I do believe in that way of thinking. And even if I think they may exagerate when they speak about 40-50 bhp, I do think bike suspensions and rider ability are more important than 10bhp (especially when those 10 bhp are out of 60...).
