Penske Racing Shocks have been designed for High Performance quality and simplicity. Each part of the Penske racing shock is designed and manufactured from the finest materials and then hard anodized to prevent corrosion. Each part is also designed to combine maximum strength with the lightest possible weight. All Penske racing shocks are hand built, mono-tube, gas pressurized, rebuildable and revalvable. Should any part become damaged, the individual part may be replaced by the owner rather than requiring complete replacement of the shock and every part is available at a reasonable price.

PENSKE SHOCKS - 8983 SERIES

The 8983 Series damper utilizes research and development acquired from Penske’s decades of racing experience at a world class level and makes it available for your sportbike. The 8983 Series damper is a double adjustable model. First, adjustability comes from the fact that the compression and rebound dampening is adjusted externally instead of removing the damper from the motorcycle. The compression adjuster is located on the remote reservoir while the rebound adjuster is located in the eyelet at the base of the shaft. The main valving, located inside the damper, may also be altered in a matter of minutes, by removing the damper from the motorcycle. The 8981 Series adjuster offers a wide range of compression adjustments for the serious racer. As the adjuster knob is rotated, a drum inside the compression adjuster is rotated, aligning the chosen orifice within the direct flow of oil into the remote reservoir. The adjustment knob is numbered from one to six and by clicking to the number one position, the adjuster is set at the softest position utilizing the largest hole in the compression adjuster drum. The number six position on the knob denotes a full stiffness setting where oil flow is greatly restricted. This method of adjusting compression damping is ideal for most forms of racing, especially those having higher shaft speeds and displacements. The redesigned orifices make every adjustment have a noticeable “feel” and have increased the range of adjustment. At higher shaft velocities, oil passes through the orifice in the compression adjuster drum and gets to a point of “packing-up”. Penske has designed a valve in the compression adjuster housing allowing the oil to bleed off, making for more linear force curves. The 8983 Series is the choice of champions worldwide.

Features:
• 6 levels of adjustability
• Blow off valve makes more linear damping curve
• Advanced technology construction
• Unparalleled performance
• Proven design from a proven company

PENSKE SHOCKS - 8987 SERIES

Winning race teams the world over demand state of the art technology, consistency, and high performance from their shocks. The 8987 Series damper from Penske, is the latest, most advanced generation of adjustable dampers available today. This damper provides a more extensive range of tuning and hardware options in order to fulfill each team’s specifications as well as the personal preferences of race engineers and riders. The 8987 offers a variety of upgrades in its overall damping range including superior tune-ability and service-ability. It also features an advanced modular design, allowing greater leeway in chassis packaging. The 8987 is offered as a 3-way and 4-way adjustable damper and is designed to fine-tune both high and low speed shaft movements. The high-speed adjuster controls larger track inconsistencies that may disrupt the motorcycle, while the low-speed adjuster controls slow shaft movements that occur during corner entry and exit. When tuning the high-speed adjustment, the secondary valve shims are being preloaded, giving you different compression forces. The low speed adjustment meters the fluid and bypasses the piston in the adjuster, providing an adjustable combination of bleed and shim controlled damping. In effect, the combination of low speed and high speed adjustments will offer virtually unlimited tuning options. The 8987 Series damper is the ultimate tuning tool for the professional race team.

Features:
• 30 levels of low-speed and 18 levels of high speed adjustability
• Completely rebuildable and revalvable
• Advanced technology and design
• Constructed from the highest grade materials available
• Unrivaled consistency and performance
• Proven race quality shock
