Excerpts from the full reports:

• Use of coatings on dirt bike fork tubes and shock shafts is commonplace, but what are they,
  and what do they really do?


• Coatings are a component of suspension tuning that often aren't well understood.


• A coating frequently applied to dirt bike fork tubes and shock shafts is Titanium Nitride.


• A better performance coating technology for steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum and other non-porous metals is Diamond Like Carbon, or DLC.


• A deposition technique exists which resolves the issues of physical vapor deposition (PVD) applied DLC, which is termed Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition or PACVD.


• The presence of nano-crystalline diamond gives Extremeion's Hard Carbon Raptor coating a combination of extreme hardness and flexibility well beyond traditional DLC coatings.


• By employing the expertise of a good suspension tuner, quality equipment and a low-friction wear resistant coating like Extremeion's Hard Carbon Raptor, a good suspension can be transformed into an incredible suspension which is perfectly suited to a particular rider's weight, skill level, and the type of terrain they ride on.
