In the fast-paced world of professional racing, every detail counts. With years of involvement in motorsports, Griekspoor Thermal Coatings has forged close collaborations with several racing teams, including our own motocross team. These partnerships have provided us with invaluable insights. To distill it down, we highlight two primary challenges in high-level suspension performance:
Changing Coating Properties
As the suspension is used over time, the roughness of the coating changes, causing unpredictable behavior and potentially compromising performance.
Slip-Stick Effect
This phenomenon occurs when the suspension experiences a 'sticking' or resistance to movement, which can adversely affect the bike's response, especially when quick movement is required.
Better feedback from the bike through better movement, especially at high-speed, less slip-stick and ultimately less arm-pump.
Recognizing these challenges, Griekspoor Thermal Coatings developed a groundbreaking solution: Griekspoor TOPCOAT 107+. This proprietary coating, which was originally developed for the offshore industry, boasts a super alloy intermediate coating coupled with a specialized blended carbide top layer, meticulously applied using HP-HVOF, which excels in scenarios demanding extreme hardness and wear resistance.
At Griekspoor Thermal Coatings, we believe in collaboration. Drawing from our extensive expertise and innovative techniques, we are committed to working alongside our partners. Together, we aim to achieve maximum suspension performance.
