Considering the fact that “Kit suspension” is the most desired modification you can add to a motocross bike (in most opinions), it seems unfair that it is so unattainable for the general riding public. With this in mind, RG3 developed its “Diamond Kit”, suspension which is a package of modifications that RG3 offers for your existing forks and shock that compares in quality and appearance to the most exotic “Factory Kit Suspension” units available and at a fraction of the normal cost.
The RG3 Diamond Kit is a major improvement over the stock suspension in the following areas:
Improved feel for the terrain
Greatly improved resistance to wear and fade
A Factory feel (tight and consistent) due to improved friction control, which allows for valving to be more exact which gives an even smoother feel. Additionally, you receive all the benefits of an RG3 suspension revalve such as a plusher more progressive feel, custom setup for your needs, improved traction and predictability, greater resistance to bottoming, etc
The Diamond Kit got its name from the most exotic, performance enhancing coating known to the suspension world today. DLC or Diamond-Like-Carbon coating is harder, slicker and more durable than Titanium Nitride and the standard hard chrome and it is intended for the inner fork tube and shock shaft.
We take your existing forks and shock and bring them to a Factory Works level. We start by Electro-forming the DLC Coating to the lower fork legs and shock shaft. DLC is very different than the Ti-Nitrate seen on other bikes. It is one of the hardest materials on earth, yet it is not brittle and will last as long as your fork and shock will hold up. DLC has drastically reduced friction compared to stock chrome and Ti-Nitrate coatings. It can be seen on almost every race bike from Ricky Carmichael’s to James Stewart’s to this year’s top privateer Nick Wey running our own RG3 Diamond kit. You also get to pick the custom anodizing of the upper fork tubes, shock housing, bladder cap and an assortment of other suspension components.
Included in this overhaul is our Smart Valve, which we install into your forks. Our Smart Valve works like a smart part and flows the proper amounts of fork fluid for the speed at which your fork is traveling. The result is a fork that holds up in the stroke when needed, yet settles into ruts and cures harsh deflection at high speed. Then the same suspension techs that work on all of our factory bikes custom valve your suspension for your exact weight, ability, and riding conditions. This results in a factory level ride.
