Race Tech has recently released their most innovative valving technology for the modern 40mm shocks (SMGV S4001). Race Tech's original bolt-on valving system, the Gold Valve, revolutionized the motorcycle industry with its easy installation and accessibility to adjust damping curves with the DVS (Digital Valving System).
