FACTORY MX

The suspension is the key to the question today and more specifically, we are trying to find out how fast it can be said if you go up the level in the suspension section. Today we have come to VIP Motocross and we have been associated with the professional pilot of WP Suspension Josh Spinks and the magician of the suspension Carl Anderson to find out the answers. And of course, for the lovers of the two times, we will do everyt Let's get out of the track. Today we have three levels different from suspension to test. First, we will test the fork and the WP shock absorber from CERI. Then we will change them for what we call the improvements of the first phase, w Then, we will pass the WP For the second stage, we will install the EXACT PRO 7548 front fork and the EXACT PRO 8950 rear shock absorber. It should be noted that these products are not only for HOSKI, KTM or gasoline engines. You can also install them in a wide variety of Japanese mac I t Josh Spinks is already out there with He has marked a quick turn, a basic turn for the day that we will then be able to consult to see how we are improving as we move forward with the different suspensions we have here. We have Carl Anderson of Cache Suspension, w Cole, what does the series suspension do? What are its limitations and why would we want to improve it? Well, for most national circuits and for most club pilots, even professionals, the standard suspension can be modified so that they work very well. Obviously, from face to face, if you need more than that, you have the pro components. Perhaps, if it goes a little more to Europe, with longer and harder circuits, then the pro components. Yes, and in longer races you will have fewer problems, so there are limitations in the standard equipment. Even in the materials with what changes would you make in a standard configuration for a day Josh would run a little more rigid today, for now, he only takes the standard clicker configuration, but, generally, throughout the day, if you see the section of knees and things If the track has many sections of knees and the baches are more separated, then you could slow down the bike a little. You just have to look at the size and shape of the baches. There is enough to take into account. Well, that's the first lap of Josh, he will score two more and then we will take the fastest time of these two laps. Well, let's go with Josh, on board the bike. If you are an ordinary viewer of the channel, you may remember that we made a video similar to t We did it with our regular test pilot, Sha, and were so impressed and surprised by the results we wanted to return and prepare a similar experiment today with a focus a little more centered. Obviously, this time we have an involved professional pilot, and he is riding his own bike, un So t We also have t With these drone images, we can pay a lot of attention and compare the performance of the bike with each configuration. Well, t He will give us a small review of the series parts, and then we will move on to the update of the first phase. We go back. Ok, here we are with Josh, you just made your fast lap with the series parts. Tell us where you t Obviously, the WP suspension series is a good suspension for the regular-loved pilots, but what do you t What do you want to slightly improve? Well, what I As for stability, it is doing what it should do, the front part does not sink, I t I would say that it is pleasant and stable, but I am reac 1, so that's the time to beat today. We are going to put the improvements of the first stage, then, cartridge kit, rubber kit, and then we go out on the track again. Let's do it. Okay, okay, Yu-jin from WP just installed the improvements of the first stage, that's the cartridge kit on the front and the rear part of the kit. You will see that Yos Okay, the second fast lap of the day has arrived at the improvements of the first stage, Carl, tell us exactly what Yos Yes. We have removed the air cartridge and the air shock absorber. We have put a cartridge kit of 6500, so we totally change the wheels. You have a spring in each wheel, shock absorber in each wheel, it is an improvement of the air shock absorber, and on the rear part, it is A, installed an air chamber kit on the rear shock absorber, it is a standard shock absorber with an air chamber kit, so it should react faster in batches. Keep the shock absorber a little colder, it gives you a more constant feeling during the course of the race, in the front, Yos With that kit on the standard air cranks, it will feel that it goes well and Well, if you don't want the adjustments now, we can do one or two clicks, and you will notice the difference. The clicks control systems are much more sensitive, they have a much larger adjustment range. Each click will feel much more than if you did it in the Air Force. In the Air Force, the feeling is much lower than in that motorcycle with the cartridge 6500. Therefore, it is just to say that all the pilots would benefit from t Many pilots will change model not by how they feel, but simply because they do not want the air to keep rising every day. So each pilot will have their own reason for w But that is an advantage, it is a improvement regarding the air-carrier. It is also worth mentioning that today we are prepared. For the video, we had some ready-made orquillas for us before coming. When you make these improvements, you have to go to an authorized WP distributor to make them for you, right? Of course, yes. It does not take much time, so the Orquilla cartridge kit is literally 30 minutes. Come see us, we can do it w So, w Do you see yourself better on the motorcycle? Let me know in the comments below. Next, it is worth noting that the cartridge kit and the VEGIC kit are available for KTM, Uskabana and gas-gas mac So, Josh has two more turns left for the improvements of phase 1 in the Lu00edvia de Teto. Well, I will keep the results secret until Josh returns to the track. Well, let's go, let's get to know Okay, we are in the second quick turn of the day, the improvements of phase 1, the cartridge kit, the VEGIC kit, it must be quite interesting for you to do a turn after another Well, how was the experience on the track at that time? I was quite surprised by the feeling of the front part immediately, where I lost a little grip on the bright parts, the smooth parts. With these Orquillas, I had a little more control over what was aligned for the curves. They sat down quite well in the curves and I also j So, in general, only that little extra confidence in those turns. So I hope that you notice that in the lap time. And again, Josh, you have been very constant in each lap. You have been faster. Well, the last time was 129. 1, no? Yes. 127. 5 in the lap. Faster lap, it is a fairly noticeable improvement. A noticeable difference. Yes, and I t So the next step is to get to the end with the We want the team to take care of it now. That they adjust it to the bike or we go back to the track. Okay, Eugene has become magic again. The bike is already prepared for the t Now we have the WP suspension of As you can see, Josh is about to get ready to leave. I t Can it go faster? Let's find out. Josh is in I'm back with Carl Anderson of Cast Suspension. Carl, tell us what we have now on the bike. What suspension do we have? Now you have the complete fork and the fork of the valve. Super Tracks, rear shock absorber, opening sign of interrogation. And what should Josh fill out? What are the advantages of t With that, with Josh now, it is much more firm than the two games we have been using. For the configuration that Josh has now is not necessarily suitable for everyone, but it can be adjusted for all levels. So t 100% Yes, yes, the sensitivity of the clickers is better. You have a wider range. So, although you have that configuration for Josh, you can let If that WP distributor does not get it, it can configure it so that it adapts to you, so you can use it at any level as a pilot. And, again, you have to go to a distributor How long is the process t It would not take long, you probably have to wait about 4 hours to make a game of that again, but we have all the parts in stock to modify them. There are many more mobile parts that will have to be changed so that it is suitable for all pilot levels. But it offers a greater control of the lower part, a greater adjustment capacity, a greater control of the lower part, a greater adjustment capacity. So yes, you can have it piloted at all levels, so the track is a little more accident now than at the beginning, but not much. And, once again, we have these mega FPV images of our drone technician, Dan Baron. You can notice some change in the performance of the moto or Josh, with these improvements from phase 2. As I said before, let me know what you these improvements from stage 2. The X-ACT PRO 7,548 and the X-ACT PRO 8,950 shock absorber are available for Honda and Kawasaki, as well as for KTM GAS and Uskabana. The X-ACT PRO 7,548 and the X-ACT PRO 8,950 shock absorber are available for Honda and Kawasaki, as well as for KTM GAS and Uskabana. Well, that's all, last quick turn of the day. Let's meet with Josh in boxes. We'll sit down, talk about t I t Josh just finished Before revealing the results, Josh, tell us how you felt out there with the X-ACT PRO 1. What were the differences between the stock and stage 1 and stage 2 that we just completed? The final adjustment we finished there gave me a lot of confidence. With the format we had, I only did probably 4 or 5 laps and felt that in each lap I could balance on the batches with much more force. I could land flat on some of the j Therefore, it is the type of configuration that gives you confidence to try a little more and I feel that with more time I could go even faster. One of the t Do you t Sometimes, with just a few clicks here and there, you can find. I mean, I don't know the time, but I t As you say, when you have the ability to adjust, you have the option to try different t Obviously it is somet If you have less experience, it is more likely that you make more mistakes and that you judge the j And what I felt was that when I j So I can see that for someone who actually has a lower level, he would keep it out of problems and would also help a lot with Which one did you feel was the biggest change, the biggest j Time will talk about itself again, but what did you feel? I t So, the initial change with the conversion of the spring in the front gave me much more confidence. For me, I felt a uniform progression, it was So, I still don't know the last time, but I would say that it is a fairly close progression. We also want to say that time by turn is important, but it is also about getting that comfort, knowing what your bike is going to do. That is an important part of the suspension configuration, right? Yes, it is. Yes, for me the suspension is an equilibri It is the front and rear part working together. The last configuration we had there, everyt I mean, the track was also hard today, it's like being full of b You have to be very precise and very sharp in the b Well, that really left me amazed and it was positive. So, it's the moment of truth. Let's reveal the t We started at 129 t And then went down to 127. 5 with the improvements of the first stage. Stage 2 at the end. Yes, 127 exacts. So you have lowered half a second with those improvements. Of course. But as we said, you hadn't configured it yourself. A couple of laps. Do you t 100% Yes. We did the three laps. I felt that in the first lap I was still getting used to it, but it had to be faster than the first one. W Immediately faster. The second lap felt a little better. The t And you just have to give a few more laps. Maybe with the screwdriver. Yes, I t Maybe two seconds to find it. So I t Of course. Yes, before. I mean, the engine, the exhaust systems, they all help. But the important thing is to have confidence when you enter those sections with b Do you want to make sure that the bike is going to do what you want it to do? At the end of the day, for us, the simple mortals, the bikes go fast enough. In reality, we don't need to make them go faster, right? It's better to control that. Yes, control the bike, make sure you're comfortable. And these t Of course. Let us know what you thank you very much Josh. Thank you very much Eugene, Carl and the rest of the WP team that has helped us today. As always, my name is Max. Here is 999 Laser. Until next time, see you on the track.
