Benefits of the N10Z System

What you feel on the bike

• Less harshness, more comfort: Smooths out corrugations and square-edge hits so your hands don’t cop the punishment.

• Better front-end grip: Tyre tracks the ground instead of skipping—more confidence on brakes and lean.

• Stronger mid-stroke support: Holds the bike up in whoops, ruts and loaded touring—reduced dive, less wallow.

• More stable, less fatigue: Fewer deflections and kicks = longer rides with less arm pump.

What the suspension is doing

• Big flow without pressure spikes: Cone-valve geometry gives a progressive “open” path for oil, avoiding the sharp damping spikes you get with thin shim stacks.

• Wider tuning window: Clickers make a real difference across light/heavy riders and luggage—easy to dial for terrain.

• Heat/cavitation control: Lower pressure differentials help the oil stay consistent on long, rough sections.

Why it works (in plain English)

• A cone replaces a flexing shim stack as the main restriction.

• At small movements it opens gently → small-bump compliance.

• As speeds and loads rise, opening area grows in a controlled way → support without harshness.

Who it’s perfect for

• Adventure riders: Solo or two-up, with or without luggage; better control on broken backroads and tracks.

• Dual-sport/enduro: Faster recovery between hits; improved line-holding.

• Heavier/lighter riders: The system responds well to spring changes and keeps damping predictable across weight ranges.

Practical advantages

• Drop-in, serviceable design: Uses standard oils and tools; fully rebuildable.

• Reversible upgrade: No permanent mods to your fork.

• Plays nice with springs: Works with your chosen rate to balance ride height and support.

Typical results customers report

• Reduced brake dive while keeping comfort over chatter.

• Front tyre feels “planted” in off-camber and marbly corners.

• Less bar feedback on square-edge rocks/ledges.

• More control carrying speed through whoops and chop.
