Stoke Suspension Works

Suspension work on a bicycle involves more than swapping parts. Stoke Suspension Works understands the mechanics: the damping characteristics that keep you stable on rough winter trails, the compression settings that matter when you're climbing Constantia Nek, the rebound timing that prevents harshness on Cape Town's mix of rocky singletracks and tar. Western Cape's terrain—fynbos-covered mountains, sandy fire roads, technical sections—puts real demands on suspension geometry and tuning. Proper work means stripping, servicing, and recalibrating to match both your bike's design and how you actually ride it. This isn't about bolt-on upgrades; it's about understanding oil viscosity, seal integrity, and the relationship between fork and shock behaviour. When suspension is dialled in, the whole ride changes.
