THE TUNING PROCESS

Skunk Works Suspension offers professional suspension services; including rebuilds, repairs, and routine maintenance.

But the true focus, and passion, lies with tuning and setup.

Whether it’s a new bike, a new shock or fork, or a new rider, the approach is the same: tailor each setup to the individual and the situation.

The process is an in-person experience, unique to each rider. SWS can evaluate suspension performance at a bike park, running shuttles, or while riding local trails.

On-bike data acquisition equipment is utilized to analyze how the fork and shock are performing and to create balanced suspension performance.

From optimizing stock settings to a complete custom tune with aftermarket parts, the range of services is broad and customized to each situation.

A detailed profile of rider, bike, and suspension settings is compiled and saved, making future tuning adjustments intuitive and simplifying routine maintenance.


This is particularly helpful for young riders, who can experience rapid changes in size and skill level.

Based in Durango, Colorado, Skunk Works Suspension maintains a mobile presence to attend events and visit riding locations across the West.


Available to work with race teams of all sizes — from NICA high school squads to college and beyond — SWS can help ensure every rider’s suspension is optimized.
