Desert & Baja Suspension
Wide-open, high-speed, and merciless on parts. Baja is in our blood — we build suspension that stays cool, stays planted, and survives the whole race.
Built to run flat-out and finish
Desert racing is the ultimate test of a suspension — high-speed g-outs, 100mph chop, trophy truck whoops, silt beds, all at triple digit heat, and hundreds of merciless miles. This is TBT's home turf. We tune for bottoming resistance without sacrificing comfort at speed, fade-free damping over long races, and the durability to take the checkered flag instead of a DNF.
The work, done right
Revalve
Fork & shock re-valved to control the big hits and stay composed through the chop — no more harsh, no more wallow.
Respring
Springs matched to your actual weight and gear so sag and balance are right before we ever touch a clicker.
Service & Rebuild
Full teardown, clean, new seals and oil. Tired suspension feels new — and predictable — again.
Custom Setup
Clickers, sag, and balance tuned to your terrain, your pace, and your feedback. Dialed, not guessed.
Where desert setups win or lose
High-speed g-outs & big hits
Deep bottoming resistance holds the bike up through washes and drop-offs at speed without beating you up on the small stuff.
Heat & fade
Damping that stays consistent mile after mile — no mushy, faded feeling when the race gets long and hot.
Silt & whoops at speed
Stability tuning keeps the bike straight and headshake away when you're pinned across the rough.
Durability to finish
Built and serviced to survive the distance — because in the desert, finishing is winning.
