MAXRACING FAQ

A motorcycle steering damper, also known as a steering stabilizer, is a device designed to control unwanted oscillations or "wobbling" of the handlebars. This helps improve motorcycle stability, particularly at high speeds or on uneven surfaces. Steering dampers enhance both safety and rider comfort, making them essential for sport bikes and touring motorcycles.

MaxRacing steering dampers use advanced hydraulic technology to absorb and reduce the energy that causes wobbling and shimming in the motorcycle’s handlebars. By offering resistance to the steering motion, the damper helps you maintain better control, even on rough roads or during high-speed rides, reducing rider fatigue and improving overall motorcycle stability.

A steering stabilizer is crucial for improving your motorcycle’s handling and safety, especially when riding at high speeds or on irregular surfaces. It prevents handlebar wobbling and helps mitigate the effects of sudden road imperfections, making it an important component for both racers and recreational riders who want a smoother, more controlled ride.

Yes, all MaxRacing steering dampers feature adjustable damping settings. This allows you to fine-tune the damper's stiffness to suit your riding style and specific road conditions.

It depends. It's not a problem when the Max Racing damper is mounted under the handlebar.
If the damper is mounted over the handlebar, then this may be a problem, especially If the risers move the handlebar closer to the tank. It changes the geometry of the system and makes the damper incompatible.

MaxRacing offer a TREE-years warranty on handlebar steering dampers. This warranty covers repairs or replacements due to manufacturing defects, but it does not cover damage caused by accidents, improper installation, or misuse.

MaxRacing has two models: Max10 for bikes below 500 and Max20 for bikes with higher cc. The major difference between the motorcycles is the bracket that holds the MaxRacing to the handlebar. You can email info@hauerimports.com to quote the price for the bracket directly.
