Traxxion Dynamics AK-GAS Charged Cartridge Kit

The new kit will bolt into stock inverted motorcycle fork casings, using the stock bottom bolts, and the stock fork caps, making it legal in virtually every racing organization, all over the world. There are several distinct advantages to a gas pressurized damper when compared to a convention open bath styled fork cartridge. An open bath fork cartridge pumps oil into and out of itself from the main body of the fork. There is a great deal of contamination in the oil, such as Teflon from the bushings, spring steel flaking off of the spring, aluminum from screwing the cap onto the steel tube, and then general oxidation contamination from all of the parts rubbing together. All of this contamination from the main body of the fork is then circulated into the sensitive valving of the damping unit. Invariably, it manages to get stuck in the valving shims resulting in a loss of damping force, and frequent maintenance to maintain top performance. As far as the performance itself, an open bath cartridge is constantly blending tiny air bubbles into the oil and a loss of damping force results over the course of a race. More air equals more fade. Also, there is a noticeable change in damping force as the fluid warms. Gas-charged damping units are assembled, bled free of air, and then pressurized. They become a sealed environment that contamination cannot enter. Since the oil is under pressure, it doesn’t foam, and cavitation is completely eliminated. As a result, damping force remains consistent over the course of a race. The results in performance are tremendous. Since pressurized damping units’ offer more instantaneous damping force, greater wheel control gives the rider dramatically improved feedback from the tire. All of these factors combine to improve rider confidence and control. This beyond question lowers lap time. Each Axxion Gas Cartridge Kit will include one pair of Axxion Gas Charged Cartridges, Springs matched to the riders weight, two quarts of fork oil, one free complete forks disassembly/inspection, and elite service package. The elite service package includes answering questions you may have about the front end set up, valving changes if needed, and taking care of any service issues that may arise in the first year.
