SUSPENSION
PERFORMANCE.
MEASURED.

Before-and-after dyno testing shows how your suspension is performing, helps identify problems and verifies the result of servicing or custom tuning.

Available as an optional extra with servicing. Included as standard with custom tuning.

EXPERTISE

TEST. IMPROVE. VERIFY.

WE DON’T JUST ASSUME
IT’S BETTER.

Rider feedback is important, but workshop feel alone cannot show the complete picture. Our CTW RD2 records repeatable performance data before work begins and again after the service or tune. This gives us a controlled comparison—and gives you clear evidence of what changed.

THE PROCESS

BEFORE TO AFTER.

  1. 01

    BASELINE TEST

    We test the shock or fork damper before work begins to record its current compression and rebound performance.

  2. 02

    SERVICE OR TUNE

    Your suspension is serviced, repaired or tuned for your bike, riding style, terrain and performance goals.

  3. 03

    VERIFICATION TEST

    We repeat the test under controlled conditions and directly compare the new data with the original baseline.

  4. 04

    CLEAR RESULTS

    You receive the before-and-after results with a plain-language explanation of what changed and what it means.

WHAT WE TEST

CONTROLLED DATA.
USEFUL ANSWERS.

The RD2 measures damper force through controlled shaft speeds, allowing us to examine compression and rebound behaviour, repeatability and the effect of adjustments.

01

REAR SHOCKS

Complete rear-shock testing to assess damping behaviour before and after servicing or tuning.

02

FORK DAMPERS

Testing of the removed damper cartridge or assembly. Complete suspension forks are not mounted to the dyno.

03

COIL SPRINGS

Measured spring-rate testing to check the spring against its marked rate and support accurate setup decisions.

WHAT THE DATA CAN REVEAL

SEE WHAT FEEL
ALONE CAN’T.

  • 01 Inconsistent compression or rebound behaviour
  • 02 Damping that falls outside the intended range
  • 03 Changes produced by servicing, repairs or tuning
  • 04 How adjusters alter the damping response
  • 05 Whether a custom tune achieved its intended target
  • 06 A coil spring’s measured rate

WHAT IT MEANS ON THE TRAIL

DATA WITH A PURPOSE.

Dyno data helps us make informed decisions about your setup. Depending on what your suspension needs, the result can support better control, consistency and confidence on the bike.

MORE CONTROL

Damping better matched to the rider, bike and intended terrain.

GREATER CONSISTENCY

More predictable compression and rebound behaviour through repeated impacts.

BETTER FEEDBACK

A clearer understanding of what was found, what changed and why it matters.

VERIFIED WORK

Measured confirmation that the service or tune produced the intended change.

YOUR RESULTS

NO TECHNICAL
DEGREE REQUIRED.

You receive your before-and-after test results together with a straightforward explanation. We’ll show you what the curves represent, what we found and how the result relates to your suspension’s performance.

  • Before-and-after comparison
  • Compression and rebound data
  • Plain-language explanation
  • Relevant setup or tuning notes

OPTIONS

REAR SHOCK DYNO TEST

PRICE ON REQUEST

Before-and-after testing added to a rear-shock service.

FORK DAMPER DYNO TEST

PRICE ON REQUEST

Before-and-after testing of the removed fork damper, added to a service.

COIL SPRING RATE TEST

PRICE ON REQUEST

Measured testing to confirm the spring’s actual rate.

Final pricing and suitability are confirmed when your booking is reviewed.

COMMON QUESTIONS

DYNO TESTING FAQ.

IS DYNO TESTING INCLUDED WITH EVERY SERVICE?+

No. Dyno testing is an optional extra when booked with a fork-damper or rear-shock service. It is included as standard with custom tuning.

CAN YOU TEST A COMPLETE FORK?+

We test the fork’s removed damper assembly, not the complete suspension fork. Complete rear shocks can be tested.

WILL I RECEIVE MY RESULTS?+

Yes. You receive the before-and-after results with a clear explanation of what changed and what that means for your suspension.

CAN YOU TEST MY COIL SPRING?+

Yes. We can measure the spring rate to check the spring against its marked rate and help support accurate setup decisions.

DOES A DYNO REPLACE TRAIL TESTING?+

No. Dyno data provides controlled, repeatable measurement. Rider feedback and on-trail setup remain important parts of achieving the right result.
