They just dropped a new fork. Seen them doing a lot of work on them and they look really good around some tracks. I have some luckys on the 125 might try these on the 250f.

Curious how much they cost. Also, it’s hard to find reviews for mx application for the national shock. Would be awesome if keefer would do a test.

Im thinking that would be a great ktm, husky, GG fork for SX. There's no 52's outside of factory bikes. So this would give them a more ridged platform I would assume.

So I had Race tech set up for A rider and then have spent a lot of time on Aeo’s rear shock as well. They don’t even come close to feeling as plush as my National shock. It tracks across everything and nearly impossible to bottom on anything I’ve ridden, whereas the other two shocks I know I can bottom those out if I OJ anything. My real world review is I’ll never not ride a National shock again. Even if it cost double I’d still pay for it. Of course if I come across anything better I’ll rethink this statement, but so far I have not ridden another a kit level shock and found it to be better. Equal yes, better no. I did have to call the shop a few times to understand settings and they got me dialed and we talked alot of theory which was great. There’s quite a bit to understand about the shock and how the mid speed adjuster actually serves as a master adjustment to the high speed and low speed adjusters and how to get some softness on square edge chop without turning the high speed adjuster out so much.

They’ve been testing the fork for a while. Pretty sure some national riders were running them.

Wow....to create a fork like that is pretty impressive. I'll be interested to see reviews but i'm sure it will be good.

What are the "blackjack closed cartridge internals"? I can't seem to find them on their site.

49mm Showa tubes are actually a couple percent less rigid than 48mm WP tubes, which is the opposite of what we would think going up in diameter. They're thinner, though, and a good deal lighter.


These forks have A LOT of development in them and we'll have a set for our latest project bike soon!

Jeremy is a hard working smart dude. He showed me fork pistons he designed in 98 at a Wi. Track. We talked hydraulics a bit I worked on a big horizontal rig changing high pressure fittings etc trying to get more than 2.3 million ft lbs of torque out of it.

Will be interesting to see what folks think of them once some are out and about. Jer could setup his company to be the defacto go to company for high end "kit" suspension for privateers and folks with $ to burn.

I'm a fan of what MXTech is doing. Very cool stuff.

Jer's design's are always brilliant, the application has always been so so... I'll stick with my KYB's thank you.

Anyone get their hands on a set of Blackjacks? These forks look sweet, I really want to hear some reviews but have yet to see any.

It’s going to depend what you get. From what I’ve gathered you can either get the full fork which will be $$$ I’d guess 5k? Or just the cartridges which I’d guess will be around 2k

If you know anyone with a pro card, you can get 52’s. They’re available to anyone with a pro card through authorized wp centers. Local privateer in minnesota got them for the nationals.

Once they buy them, they are theirs to sell or do what they please with.

I do not know the pricing details, but I do know it will depend on what options you go with. Give them a call if you'd really like to know!

The 350? A lot more progress will be made as soon as we get the suspension. There are a couple missing pieces yet, but it's 95% ready.

I have the cartridges in my gas gas 450. They are unreal. Definitely more plush. Which I was expecting. But the greatest is the bottoming resistance. On an over jump or case. There’s no jolt in your wrist. It just soaks it up.
