Ikon for Flat Trackers
Bedford, Pennsylvania based Ikon Suspension USA,
the North American operation of the Australian
suspension manufacturer, has responded to the
growth in vintage off-road competitions, Flat Track
racing in particular, with the introduction of a new
line of Ikon 'FlatTrackers' suspension units for twin
shock frames.
Developed in collaboration with Bob 'Flat-Track'
Cuthbertson of RC Racing Components,
Independence, Oregon Ikon 'FlatTrackers' for twin
shock frames come in lengths from 12"-14" in half
inch increments with black powder coated body and
spring for durability. Several sizes of mounting
bushes and spring rates are available in linear and
progressive designs.
"It took a couple of seasons to fine tune the design
in terms of shock valving and spring rate. Then, at the
beginning of the 2019 indoor Flat Track season at
Salem OR, Skyler Gore (on the Ikon Suspension USA
equipped RC Racing bike) started racking up the
wins," said Roger Kirwin of Ikon Suspension USA.
"That was the point when we knew we'd developed
successful race winning suspension units," he
added. Rebuildable and revalvable, these Flat Track
specific 76 series shock absorbers are made as part
of Ikon's 'Basix' range.
