The UK’s only Motorcycle Suspension School
The Motorcycle Suspension School by Reactive Suspension is the UK’s only dedicated training centre where riders, technicians, and enthusiasts learn to service, tune, and modify motorcycle suspension through practical, hands‑on experience. Every course is designed to build real, usable skills—whether you want to maintain your own suspension, expand your workshop services, or deepen your engineering knowledge.
The hands-on Advantage
Unlike demonstration‑only courses, every student works directly on suspension components in our purpose‑built workshop. You’ll strip, service, and reassemble forks and shocks yourself, building confidence through guided practice rather than passive observation.
What the courses cover
- Suspension fundamentals: fork and shock design, function, and operation
- Hands‑on servicing: strip‑down, inspection, servicing, and re‑valving
- Advanced theory: shim stacks, piston design, spring dynamics, geometry
- Practical setup: road and off‑road suspension adjustment
- Testing and analysis: fork and shock dyno operation and data interpretation
Many past attendees have used their new skills to expand their workshop services, launch suspension‑focused businesses, or enhance their engineering careers. University students have also found that the specialist knowledge gained on our courses provides a valuable advantage on their CV’s.
