Good information mate, thanks! Never ceases to amaze me what suspension engineers come up with. Simple parts like holes, shims, springs, seals and rods, get turned into magic all over the place inside the forks!
REALLY good, this is the first explanation of the different forks that covers the technical reasons for one or the other. Thank you for taking time to put this all together and help out a lot of riders.
Excellent explanation, detail, clarity, animations, science, humour. I have no doubt many other viewers agree, your time and effort to produce these outstanding tutorials that are truly educational and knowledge empowering are absolutely appreciated, thank you
Good stuff! In my experience open cartridge is fine for most of us off road types and it is simpler and easier for an owner to service. Open cartridge feels plusher" off road in the rocks, hack and roots than closed. I don't race MX, and being an average Joe, I am simply not worthy as a rider of closed cartridge forks. Open for me 😆
This is honestly one of the best technical motocross related channels on TH-cam! Your explanations are simple enough that most people can understand, but you also provide lots of details for those who wish do dive deeper into the concepts.

Thank you so much for your Videos regarding Suspension! In my Opinion the best Channel to understand this difficult Topic a bit better. And I just bought a WP XPLOR Pro 6500 closed Cartridge Kit for my 701 because of this Video, my Wife hates you
Say sorry to your wife for me 😅🤣🤣 Thank you so much for the nice words! Enjoy 💪 Take a look at our website in case your interested in learning further how to take full advantage of that new cartridge kit 😃
Your videos are great. Super clear explanations and great advice. I have tried to work out what the performance difference is between open and closed and struggled to find answers, Now I know. Thanks. When it comes to faster cornering and relatability in performance do you think closed is the way to go? Like say a super moto setup.
you're welcome and I really appreciate the good word! Thank you! 😊 Honestly, for road use, an open cartridge should be more than enough, imo. the closed cartridge technology only came around to cope with the stresses from Moto/supercross. Enduro and off road in general, benefited afterwards since it got "cheaper" compared to the early beginings
@@StepstoPodium SO well serviced open setups will give you pretty much the same repeatability and handling unless you a beating it with big jumps. Sounds good and cheaper. Nice. Now just need to choose springs and oils to dial it in and not of that annoying gas filling.
@@braenzlig426 I'm starting to work with them! With covid and such, I haven't had the chance to ride the new bike and have solid feedback to work with but as soon as things get better, I'm going to! Those are not an A-kit, it's a regular KYB closed cartridge from a KYB fork. To be honest, you cant go wrong with KYB... zf and wp are known to have inherited problems. Kyb is the only one that seems to have a general consensus on its perfornance
@@StepstoPodium yeah kyb is maybe the best in the buisness, that was the reason for me to buy a newer generation gasgas. i dont really like the sachs/zf, they often have problems with the outer tube hardcoating that is sometimes wearing really bad. performance for hard enduro on wp and sachs is okay, and quality on wp in my experience is the best on the suspension market. but they started saving money on suspension production with the xplor stuff, thats why i dont really like it. -16 wp has awesome performance and really good tunability
mate if u have free time i definetly want to see the bigest diferense between psf1 and sss many ask on sites and there is almost none video explained so good as u can :)
The goal is to have videos about everything! Its a matter of time 😉 perhaps when Im full time on this, Ill be able to make them more frequently! These videos take a looooot of time to make, around 100 hours on average, so it takes time...

Great vid. Can you help me understand why installing a rising rate spring on the cartridge piston would increase small bump sensitivity and help with bottoming resistance?
Hey Ash! Sorry to not have replied to this comment. It missed me! So, assuming that the rising rate spring starts off with a lower rate than the stock one, on the initial part of compressed stroke, the piston will apply fairly little hidraulic preload, allowing the forks to more easily compress without feeling that "harshness" cc forks are know for, and once the forks start compressing deeper, the hidraulic preload will increase exponentially since it isn't a linear rate as the stock one, providing more hidraulic preload and as a consequence, resistance to compression. Sorry for the lateness but better than never! 😅🙌🙏
I just bought a 2024 KTM 300 xcw now with closed cartridge forks and cant seem to get the full stroke, probably 3-4in from bottoming. Is there an easy way to take out a little oil
Would you rather have a 43mm closed cartridge fork or a 48mm open cartridge fork in enduro-esk situations? I'm looking to upgrade my stock 43mm suspension which has no adjustments on the forks. The 2 choices are between ordering xplor 240mm suspension & then spring them or get tractive closed cartridge 240mm dropins for my current 43mm forks and their shock to match.
@StepstoPodium here's another weird question for you. How hard is it to mix & match off-brand parts? Rebelx sells a kyb 48mm fork for t700 that was shown off by pol tarrer at romaniacs this year. Is it possible to retrofit that to fit a ktm? It probably seems like I'm overdoing with the fatti-boi but for some reason I decided this is the bike I want to use when I go out west & check out the harder trails like the 5 miles of hell. So I'm spending gobs of time researching, money building the bike & time at the gym doing squats, deadlifts, and cardio 😭
4:33 -- Is that free piston locked in place with no movement OR is there slack in this piston, allowing the piston to move BEFORE the spring comes into play.
@@StepstoPodium Ok and thanks ... Are you the guy in the video with the green shirt answering my questions? Either way, thanks for the help and the videos .. ESP this one ...I had no idea what the differences actually were but having both types, as you said, I can't actually tell the difference with my riding ..
Não desminto que algo do género não me passou pela cabeça mas ainda me falta algum estudo para poder passar conhecimento desse modo. Mas não excluo essa opção 😉
@@StepstoPodium lo comprendo, por cierto iba ir a la carrera de Paredes pero la cancelaron como era de esperar, para ti que carrera de las portuguesas es la más difícil?
On closed chamber forks, does the outer chamber fluid volume really matter that much? It’s just lubricant at this point and provides no damping. Or does it?
@@StepstoPodium I think I get it now. The oil just provides lubricant. But, because it takes up space and is essentially sealed in the forks. the air gets compressed when the forks compress, and that resistance creates more bottoming resistance.

No idea 😬from what I have been researching, the 4CS are the worst recent suspensions available on the market If I were you, I would find some other forks instead of wasting money on the 4CS 😅
@@StepstoPodium yeah,I think my old 2010 exc 300 OC forks are much better for what I'm doing, Romaniacs style. Can I use some tuning parts to make 4cs forks to work but is too expensive for a B class rider. P.S nice and clear info on your chanel! Big like!

A bladder is a piece of rubber which is pressurised. The possibilities of failure are essentially all around the area of the rubber besides the areas of contact between the bladder and cartridge, so quite big. Springs on the other hand are probably one of the most reliable systems ever produced in engineering, so it's hard to go wrong with that and what provides the seal is also a really well known part - a simple O-RING, so the area of failure is a lot smaller compared to the bladder. 💪

A bladder is a piece of rubber which is pressurised. The possibilities of failure are essentially all around the area of the rubber besides the areas of contact between the bladder and cartridge, so quite big.
Springs on the other hand are probably one of the most reliable systems ever produced in engineering, so it's hard to go wrong with that and what provides the seal is also a really well known part - a simple O-RING, so the area of failure is a lot smaller compared to the bladder. 💪

It increases on one side of the piston and decreases on the other side
