VECTOR MX
ABOUT:
VectorMX has all the benefits of the Axis steering damper for ri ders who want a low-profile under-bar mount steering damper that won't ra ise their handlebar height like a conventional steering damper. In most cases, the handlebars are raised less than 5mm and at the highest, 10mm, w hich you can overcome with some lower bend handlebars if needed. The Vec torMX is supplied with a single piece billet top bar clamp designed to a dd strength to the bar mounts and reduce twisting in a crash. Installation can be completed with a standard tool kit
The adventure-specific 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 to fit under most handlebars with the bars raised a nominal amount.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE TO ARRIVE?
We usually allow up to 7 business days for your order to arrive. Everything we sell is made in-house so while we usually have all components in-stock, this allows time for one of our technicians to assemble your order. Once dispatched you will be notified and receive tracking.
WHAT IS ACTIVE RETURN TO CENTRE T (ARTC) AND HOW DOES IT WORK
Unique to MSC Moto, Active Return To Centre Technology is a fully dynamic internal adjuster that controls the return to the centre circuit by actively reducing the damping as much as a rider needs to get back to the centre 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 st raight 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 R
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 produces a Top-Mount Steering Damper with a bar pad included which is the ideal solution if you don't want to raise the height of your handlebars.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO SERVICE MY STEE
Servicing is dependent on many elements such as how much you ri de, the terrain you commonly ride, etc. We recommend servicing the damper at the same frequency you wou ld 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, however, this isn’t something we recommend as the oil will not perform the way it should after t his amount of time.
