Stock KYB   vs   Gobbler KYB

The Dyno shows 37.23 Newtons of compression damping on the stock KYB cartridge.


This damping force will change to another set in stone value if a re-valve is done.

A re-valve does not change the compression adjuster range.


Even this newer Dyno, isn't sensitive enough to accurately capture the minuscule range in compression damping with industry standard designs when the compression clicker is adjusted from fully open to fully closed.


The "knee" or bend in the curve is the point where the compression bleed adjuster becomes overwhelmed with fluid flow; once this occurs, the shim stack begins to open and becomes the dominant flow control. As a result, the chart reflects the full effective clicker adjustment range during the bleed-to-shim transition.


Although the change in damping through the clicker range in this case is too subtle for a Dyno to chart, most riders can feel the change when riding the bike, but the change is not broad. It is a fine tune adjuster affecting a very small portion of the stroke.

With the Gobbler installed in the KYB fork, the Dyno shows a clicker adjuster range from 58N, to 118N. ​

From all plush this Gobbler adjuster

increased the compression damping 104% 

​An Unprecedented scope of adjustment!

The rating is done at a slow speed of  approximately 1 foot per second.

Very common faster hits will have exponentially more range than 104%

and hundreds of times more than Stock, non-Gobbler forks.

​​

The Gobbler design controls the fork from the top

of the travel to the bottom for complete control.


Rocks, MX, Baja, Roots, Sand, Mud, even asphalt.

All riders, Beginner to Expert,

Attain a choice, no compromise setup.

Gobblers allow you to transform your forks while riding.

The Gobblers, are a groundbreaking invention by Suspension101. No other fork, stock or modified, can match the Gobblers' unique ability to transform your ride from plush to race-ready with just a simple adjustment.


Want a softer feel?

Just turn the adjuster counterclockwise. Ready to tackle the Baja 500? Just turn it clockwise. Experience the unmatched performance that leaves competitors in the dust!
