Stock KYB vs Gobbler KYB
KYB 48mm Closed Chamber Forks - 2024 Beta 300 Race Edition
These Dyno runs show the adjustment range between the two cartridges
Conclusive Proof the Gobblers are unmatched
Stock KYB Dyno Evaluation
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 through 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 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.
Gobbler KYB Dyno Evaluation
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 above is at a slow speed of approximately1foot per second.
Very common faster hits will have exponentially more range than 104%
and hundreds of times more than 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.
