LEGACY IN RACING

KING OF THE BAGGERS

The story of Öhlins and King of the Baggers – one of the most exciting and fastest-growing motorcycle racing series in the US – is a natural extension of our commitment to pushing the limits of suspension performance.

As the series has evolved from a spectacle to a serious form of competition, Öhlins has partnered with top teams to deliver the precision, control, and durability needed to race full-size V-Twin touring motorcycles at the highest level. 

 

Racing machines in this series face a unique set of challenges not typically encountered in traditional sport bike racing. With significantly higher weights, massive torque from large-displacement engines, and limited lean angles, a different approach to suspension is required. To meet these demands, Öhlins engineers have applied decades of racing experience to rework our forks, shocks, and cartridges. The result is the ideal balance of stiffness, responsiveness, and rider confidence that this class demands.

Our suspension components in King of the Baggers feature fully adjustable damping systems, developed through extensive on-track testing and team collaboration. Riders benefit from precise chassis control, improved tire contact, and enhanced stability through corners. These are all critical factors when racing at the edge on bikes not originally designed for the racetrack.

Öhlins' presence in the series underscores our commitment to innovation and performance for solutions across all motorcycle segments, from championship-level racing to the real-world needs of V-twin riders and performance custom builders.
