Next class January 2027 — the week leading up to Anaheim 1 (A1). We run it just 4 times a year, 6 seats each · exact dates confirmed at booking.

We cover each part of suspension in the classroom and on the bench. With only six students it stays genuinely in-depth and detailed — and 60% or more of your time is hands-on at the bench with an instructor, doing the work yourself, not just watching.

Why this class is different

The bench is the classroom

60%+ of your week is hands-on with an instructor — not a lecture hall.

Six students. That's it.

Real one-on-one attention, just four times a year.

You build it, then you ride it

Bring your bike, build your own fork and shock, and test it Thursday at Glen Helen.

Fork, shock & track — one week

The whole system, start to finish — not a module you buy separately.

Friday is yours

The last day is built around your questions and your bike.
