ABOUT OUR STEERING DAMPERS Every part of our steering dampers are CNC machine here in Australia at the MSC factory and hand assembled to ensure you’re getting the best possible product for your bike. Each damper is checked by an experienced fitter before it leaves the assembly line and made ready to ship for years of untroubled use.

So, what benefit does a Steering Damper actually have?

Every motorcycles has suspension to help you control the up and down movements of your front wheel.

Well, a steering damper does a similar thing, it helps you control the side to side motion of the front wheel by dampening sharp or sudden hits that may want to turn your front wheel and send you in an unintended direction. So over the years we commonly explain to people that a damper provides "sideways suspension". This enables a smoother, safer ride and reduces over fatigue.

VECTOR MX

MX / OFF-ROAD LOW-PROFILE DOWN UNDER MOUNT STEERING DAMPER

ABOUT: VectorMX has all the benefits of the Axis steering damper for riders who want an under mount steering damper but don't like the raised bar height a conventional steering damper offers. In most cases, the handlebars are raised less than 5mm and at the highest, you will only get a 10mm raised bar height which you can overcome with some lower bend handlebars if needed. The top bar clamp is a strong 1 piece billet design adding more strength to the bar mounts and reduce twisting in a crash. Installation can be completed with a standard tool kit.

All fasteners stainless steel

Lower bar clamps Billet top bar clamp

VectorMX Steering Damper Full bolt on mounting kit

ABOUT: All RM3 steering damper kits are bolt-on and do not require you to make permanent changes to your standard bike. To allow for this the RM3 offers you a unit that’s physical dimensions, its height, width and depth, are slimline enough that it fits under most handlebars with the bars raised a nominal amount.

FAQ & MORE What is Active Return To Centre Technology (ARTC) and how does it work?

Unique to MSC Moto, Active Return To Centre Technology is a fully dynamic internal adjuster which controls the return to center circuit by actively reducing the damping as much as a rider needs to get back to center at the speed they turn the handlebars.

This means the faster the rider tries to get the bike back to a straight line the more the RTC will be released. Having this system means that when the rider wants to keep a straight line at high speed they get the benefit of a damper that has full damping on RTC while in tight trees the feeling is more like having a fully controlled zero RTC system.

How high will the DownUnder Steering Damper Mount raise my handlebars?

On a KTM it will raise the bars 25mm while on some other models like a Yamaha, it may go up 30mm because of how far the steering stem protrudes through the triple clamp.

MSC produce a Top-Mount Steering Damper with a bar pad included which is the ideal solution if you dont want to raise the height of your handlebars.

How often do I need to service my steering damper?

Servicing is dependent on many elements such as how much you ride, the terrain you commonly ride, etc. We recommend servicing the damper at the same frequency you would get your suspension serviced, which is usually once a year. In some cases customers go on to use MSC dampers for up to 5 years without any servicing, howver this isn’t something we reccomend as the oil will not be perform the way it should be after this amount of time.
