Gold Valves® are Race Tech's Custom Valving Kits. They are designed to break through the limitations of stock piston designs. Research has shown that the stock piston ports induce unnecessary harshness. Gold Valves are designed to reduce piston restriction so harshness is dramatically reduced. This also allows the valving stack to be personally tailored to the individual rider. Tests have proven that bottoming resistance is actually increased as the harshness is decreased. Traction is also improved. G2-R Fork Gold Valves: Race Tech's new G2-R Fork Gold Valves are dual port pistons designed to optimize the loading of the shims while improving flow. These versatile valves blow away all previous limitations with the shim stacks and valving. The G2-R Gold Valves can be preloaded, freeloaded, and/or restricted for Supercross, Supermoto, Motocross, Trail, Enduro, and Hare Scrambles.
