Why Suspension Setup is More Than Just Clickers

Most riders know how to adjust their compression and rebound clickers—but few realize just how much performance is being left on the table. At Rocky Mountain Dampening, we believe that real suspension performance doesn’t come from turning knobs—it comes from a holistic approach: tuning the internal valving, spring rates, and fluid dynamicsto fit your exact needs as a rider.

Clickers Help, But Only to a Point

Clickers control flow through pre-set circuits, but they don't change how the suspension behaves deep in the stroke or how quickly it recovers under pressure. If your forks are diving too fast or your shock is packing under braking, adjusting clickers won’t solve the root issue. That’s where internal tuning makes all the difference.

What We Do Differently

At Rocky Mountain Dampening, every fork and shock we touch is torn down completely, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with intention. Whether you’re getting a basic service or a full Dal Soggio kit installed, your suspension is reassembled with the right springs, oil, and shim stacks for your weight, speed, and terrain. The result is not just “better” suspension—it’s a bike that handles exactly how it should, with confidence and control you can feel.

Built for Real Riders

We tune for the way you actually ride. Whether you’re trail riding at elevation, racing motocross, or building a vintage project, we offer custom solutions that go beyond bolt-on kits. Suspension is not one-size-fits-all—and it’s not just for pros. Every rider deserves to feel confident on their bike.
