Over Suspension?

Mr.E · Sep 27, 2021

I might be late to the party about this, but I came across this product called “over suspension” and curious if anyone as tried it out? Its made by Supreme Technologies in Italy and claims that this prevents 90% of the high sides from wheel/suspension chatter. It’s an interesting concept and apparently its been used in different motorsports from MotoGP, WSBK, Formula 1 among other applications. Also, the Italian Superbike Racing Organization has made it mandatory for their racers to use them. Curious if anyone has used this.

I have one, and a few local racing teams use it too as far as I know. Does it help? Not sure. It's kinda one of those "just in case" type things. One thing is for certain, it is completely useless for street riding. The only instance where it can/will work is during the extreme limits of traction and power application. I've seen guys put them on street bikes with huge tendies and at that point it's just more mass.

My guess to see if it actually works would be to throw on the suspension potentiometers to see how the suspension behaves with and without it on. Apparently, there are two bikes that use/have this same technology on it. The guy explains a little more in detail in the second video but also mentions the two bikes that do have this currently. Maybe this is something that we will see in the future considering some of the technology does trickle down to production motorcycles.

It would be interesting to hear actual real world comparison before and after on this devise with an average fast rider not from the pointy end of elite racing
or is it just a nice shiny fishing lure attracting the average joe fisherman in the store thinking it will catch more fish.

All these things were developed on competition platforms with very predictable surfaces providing somewhat predictable feedback and a lot of telemetry to look at as they are tunable devices. Completely worthless on the streets. On a street bike all you are doing is adding sprung mass that you probably spent money on a lighter weight drive setup to get rid of. Poser points if your Starbucks cruiser has one.

I have to agree. Depends on where you ride.

Haven't seen any hanging off the rear wheel in MotoGP lately, their tuned mass dampers (in the bikes that have them) are just that- tuned. AKA the salad box in the tail and specific to the bike, the rider, the tires etc. I would save the money and upgrade/shim the shock first for your weight and style, get carbon wheels or whatever. As for saving 90% of highsides, sounds like .........

Been on my mind list for a year now. Probably won't add one till 2023 where it sits on my track mod list.
