The GP20 front fork cartridges have been designed to replace the internals
in forks where the original damping system is very basic or sealed. The
GP20 fork internals are designed to fit into any fork where the bore of the
stanchion is 27mm or bigger. Each cartridge is built to order so we valve
the cartridge to suit the bike and what the bike is being used for. The
cartridges also are supplied with springs to suit rider weight and the bikes
weight.
The GP20 cartridges have been designed and developed by our own technicians.
All of the components are machined at Maxton by our engineers, so we can
closely control the quality of all the components. The cartridges have been
machined from a high grade 6082 and 7075 Alloy and hard anodised to protect
the internals from wear. The springs used in the GP30 cartridges have been
manufactured from Silicon Chrome to our own specification. They are rate
checked by the manufacturers, then by our own engineers using our own
equipment to ensure they are correct.
The GP20 cartridges have separate rebound and compression damping pistons
with shims stacks chosen to suit what you are using the bike for. The
cartridges are supplied as a pair, they have rebound and compression damping
in both legs. There are four different options of GP20 cartridge we supply
with different levels of adjustment :
- Adjustable Rebound damping only
- Adjustable Rebound damping and Preload
- Adjustable Rebound damping and Compression damping
- Adjustable Rebound damping, Compression damping and Preload

In most cases the cartridges come with new fork tops.
In a lot of modern forks nowadays the original damping system is sealed or
tamperproof, this means we can not strip and revalve the original
cartridges. In these cases all we can do improve the forks is replace the
original damping system with a GP20 cartridge. The most common modern forks
we supply cartridges for are Triumph Street Triple and Tiger forks, SV650
forks, ER6 forks and Ducati Hypermotard forks.
We supply a lot of GP20 cartridges for classic front forks. Because of this
we have designed special valving to suit the classic tyres and weights of
the classic bikes. We have also had a range of springs made to suit
different classic bikes. In most cases the original classic bottom sliders
have to be machined to accept the GP20 cartridges. The most popular classic
forks we fit GP20 cartridges to are Manx Norton forks, Ceriani forks, Honda
forks, Triumph forks and Marzocchi forks. All these forks have 35mm or 38mm
stanchions. In some classic forks we have to machine new bushes to improve
the action of the sliders before we install the GP20 cartridges.
