Hello Leonard. This is Tapio
Niivila from Ride Concepts Inc.
We are a motocross suspension
modification shop located in the center of
Canada.
In our industry, performance
coatings are quite normal. Currently the best
performing anodic coatings available are Kashima
Coat and standard issue Hard Anodize. These
coatings are used on suspension components with
the intent to increase the suspension’s
performance by decreasing friction between the
moving parts.
I had a set of outer fork
tubes for my own personal motocross bike coated
with your coloured Diamondyze™
coating from Hupe Manufacturing.
I am writing you this to let
you know that the outcome was very successful.
We are very impressed with
this product!
The suspension had an
immediately noticeable decrease in initial
static friction.
This resulted in an increase
in compliance and overall suspension
performance.
An improvement on hard
landings with these coated outer fork tubes was
also noted. This improvement is from the
decrease in the sliding friction between the
fork bushings and the flexing outer fork tube
during hard use.
I inspected these parts after
a fair bit of use, and there was no measurable
or visual wear.
After testing the Diamondyze™
coating on my personal bike, I am convinced that
this product will be more beneficial to our
customers than what is currently available.
I am now offering this
performance enhancing coating to our customers
on motorcycle and snowmobile suspension.
Thank you for the incredible
product.
