The Race Tech Gold Valve Shock Kit is a bolt-on suspension upgrade designed for riders who demand improved shock performance on the trail, track, or in race settings. Intended for compatible 40 mm shock applications, the SMGV 4005 kit improves control, traction, suspension plushness, and bottoming resistance through revised shock valving. Its tunable design allows suspension performance to be tailored to different riding styles, terrain, and setup requirements.
The Race Tech Gold Valve system uses a shock piston and valving shim arrangement engineered for precise damping control. The improved, long-wearing, low-friction sealing design helps reduce fade during extended or demanding use, supporting more consistent suspension performance. Type 2 valving kits are configured to increase bottoming resistance and are well suited for supercross-style settings, aggressive riding, and larger riders who place greater demands on the shock.
This SMGV 4005 kit includes the Gold Valve shock piston, valving shims, valving charts, complete installation instructions, and the Technical Edge Shock Maintenance and Gold Valve Installation video. Professional shock service and correct spring, sag, and damping setup are recommended for installation and tuning. Verify that your vehicle uses a compatible 40 mm shock and confirm application details with Race Tech before ordering, as fitment may vary by motorcycle, model year, and shock configuration.
