Coatings:

Coatings can be done in a variety of applications and colors. Some just for aesthetics and some for performance! See list below for our coating options:

DLC / TiNi Coatings

$650.00

Wanting to improve suspension performance with an added look?


  • DLC (black) or TiNi (color) is a PVD coating applied to the chrome steel portions of fork stanchions or shock shaft.
  • Pricing listed below is for coating cost ONLY
  • Fork stanchions or shock shafts are micro polished before coating.
  • This process is only a few microns thick and will not fill any blemishes
  • Any suspension being coated will need to be sent in for professional disassemble and re-assembly
  • Coatings are not permanent and will wear over a long period of time

Type II and Type III Anodizing

$380.00
  • Anodizing is basically color dye that can be chemically/electrically adhered to Aluminum parts
  • Billet machined parts will have a better, glossier more uniform finish
  • Cast parts will typically have a dull finish unless polished beforehand but cannot guarantee a uniform finish
  • Billet parts that are mirror polished will create a "wet" or "candy" finish
  • Professional "mirror" polishing can be added upon request
  • All motocross fork tubes are spin polished beforehand

Kashima

This can be done on aluminum fork tubes or shock bodies. Kashima is a type of anodizing with lubricants impregnated in the coating, creating a self lubricating surface and optimizing suspension movement.
$500.00 Forks / $300.00 Shock Body

TiNi (Titanium Nitride)

This coating can be done in a variety of colors or even multiple colors on a single surface. Seen on most factory race bikes, TiNi creates a hard smooth surface, cutting down stiction and temperature just like DLC.

Note: typically TiNi will not last over the years as DLC will, especially on shock shafts.
$800 Forks / $300 Shock

DLC (Diamond Like Coating)

DLC creates an extremely hard and durable surface, lowering operating temperatures and creating an ultra slick surface. This coating is normally seen in Black color and applied to steel sanctions of the lower fork tubes or shock shafts.
$800.00 Forks / $300.00 Shock
