Patented Inertia Active dampening for damper rod front forks

This is the only product on the market that is smart enough to know if the wheel is trying to move or if the chassis is trying to move. We give you the best of worlds, a more stable chassis and a faster wheel response over bumps. This product transforms the front of your motorcycle.

How It Works

The Intiminator sits on top of your stock damper rod forcing the oil through high-quality deflected discs found in top of the line shock absorbers. When the front tire hits a bump then the inertia of that bump opens the inertia valve instantly allowing for a faster response.

Easy Install

Installation is easy. Drain the fork oil, remove the spring, drop in the Intiminator, add oil then the spring and away you go.

FAQ’s
  • Do I need to also change springs?
For 90% of the population I would say no. Try it with our system first if you still think you need it then do it.
  • I have already changed my springs will it still work?
Yes. We have had people change back to stock springs after but also many stay with what they currently have.
  • Do I need to drill my damper rods?
No. We use a lighter oil so the damper rod hole size becomes less of an issue.
  • I’ve already drilled my damper rod for a different product, is that ok?
Yes. The INTIMINATOR controls the dampening, NOT the damper rod.
  • Is installation difficult?
No, it’s as easy as changing springs. Drain your oil, pull the springs, fill oil, drop in the INTIMINATOR and replace the spring. Some people also cut the spring spacer the same length as the INTIMINATOR takes up to keep the same sag.
  • How does your product differ from other products on the market?
There are other products on the market that are similar in that they also meter the oil at the top of the damper rod. Other products on the market use a small bleed then a coil spring blow off. Their system is adjustable by either changing the spring or the spring preload on the blow off valve. Our system has no bleeds and uses shims for the low speed compression, the same shims you find in most high end cartridge systems. Where the magic happens is with the inertia valve. Our system is the only system on the market that can tell if the tire is trying to move or the chassis is trying to move. So we can valve for an optimum wheel response independent of the chassis response and also at the same time valve for the optimum chassis response independent of the wheel response.
