KYB / Sachs Closed Cartridge

Race Tech Gold Valve Compression / Rebound – $474
Race Tech Gold Valve Compression / Rebound – Sachs – $524
Combo Kits include both Compression as well as Rebound/Mid-Valve Kits with a significant cost savings over purchasing these kits separately. In the “good ‘ole days” we got away with just Compression Valving improvements. However, Rebound/Mid-Valves are critical for any modern hi-performance valving setup.
Type 3 Gold Valves are the latest version of our bolt-on fork valving system for cartridge forks. Gold Valves significantly improve the flow over stock pistons, putting valving control on the shim stack instead of the piston. This results in outstanding tuneability, improved control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance.

This system replaces both mid valves and adds adjustable base valves to the bottom of each fork. Compression adjustment is moved to the bottom of each fork and rebound to the top of each fork.

Sachs Closed Cartridge

Lainer Closed Cartridge System – $400
Kit for SACHS Closed Cartridge Fork.
The kit includes:
Compression base valves:
Compression base valve holder
Compression needle adjuster
6 mm hole compression shims stack
M6 nut and adapter for stock compression piston
Rebound base valves:
Rebound base valve holder with rebound needle and spring
Aluminum rebound pistons with low friction piston bands
Shims stacks rebound and bypass
This kit allows to avoid the stock shims hole 7 and hole 9 using the more common hole 6 and hole 8, increasing the range of modification even for those who don’t have the less common shims.
It makes the suspension more controlled but at the same time comfortable in the absorption of roughness.
If Needed:
Springs | $129 |
OEM Oil / Dust Seal | $46 |
SFK Oil / Dust Seal Kit | $79 |

Race Tech Gold Valve – $345
All Models
G3-LD Gold Valves provide better control for any rider by creating more shim leverage and decreasing the angular shim deflection.
Top suspension performance requires firm bottoming resistance with plushness at the same time. Even the best suspension tuners can only make the stock valving design work so well. The Gold Valve Shock Suspension System is a proven bolt-on shock valving system that improves control, traction, performance and bottoming resistance.
If Needed:
Spring | $110 – $149 |
SFK Seal Head | $69 |
Basic Seal Head | $55 |
Oil Seal Only | $20 |
Bladder | $29 |
Shock Bumper | $29 |
