Sportbike suspension systems offer an unmatched variety of adjustments, but understanding how those adjustments work, and how to combine them to tailor your motorcycle to your riding style can be as challenging as riding well. That's why many riders never try to make the most of their bike's high-tech suspension simply because they don't know where to start or are afraid of making their bike handle worse rather than better. Now, in the first book that specifically addresses sportbike suspension systems, Andrew Trevitt, senior editor of Sport Rider magazine and a former roadracer, guides you through the process of setting up your bike's suspension to suit your riding style. This book covers the basics setting static sag for your weight as well as more subtle and advanced adjustments, such as how to optimize rear-end squat. A comprehensive discussion on chassis geometry, suspension technology, and the many interactions among adjustments helps demystify suspension tuning. Andrew also explains how to analyze various handling symptoms and make adjustments to correct them. Plus, he offers specific setup techniques for both the street and the track. You will be amazed by how much better your bike will feel after its suspension is correctly set up, and by how much more confident your riding will be with the improved handling. Sportbike Suspension Tuning will give you the necessary skills to experience the difference.

Riding a motorcycle at the world championship level requires incredible skills, but the same techniques that took Troy Bayliss to three World Superbike Championships can help you become a better rider on the street or track. 
 Inside the pages of Troy Bayliss: A Faster Way you'll find techniques--visual skills, line selection, steering, braking, throttle control--that can clip crucial seconds off your own track time. Learn firsthand from the master himself, with some help from former road racer and Sport Rider Senior Editor Andrew Trevitt. Street riders, track-day riders and racers alike can all benefit from Troy's candid discussion on riding a motorcycle well, including the mental and physical requirements of riding at your best. 
 And if you think you're as quick as you'll ever be, you'll be surprised by what you can do with minute changes in technique, body position, and mental training. As Troy writes: the most important thing to realize about motorcycle riding is that it's a dynamic skill--you will always be able to improve or change something to be faster, smoother, and safer. 
 The rare combination of natural talent, skill, commitment and determination of Troy Bayliss only comes along every few decades. For motorcycle racing fans as much as riders and racers, A Faster Way offers insight of how Troy's technique made the difference at racetracks around the world, and singled him out as one of the best riders of his day.
