The Chase Black Suspension Philosophy

At CBS, every setup is built around one core belief: “The Builders Philosophy” or the right suspension for the right rider.

I have went through vigorous testing on each tier of setup, and tuned for that specific skill level. That means you should always choose the tier that matches your current skill level. If you buy outside your range, the setup will not feel right and it will not help you improve.

  • Novice Setups are tuned for stability, forgiveness, and comfort. Perfect if you are newer to MX Bikes or still finding consistency.

  • Intermediate Setups balance comfort with more aggressive handling, letting you push harder once you have mastered the basics.

  • Pro Setups demand precision. They are built for riders chasing lap times and championships. If you are not there yet, they will feel extremely difficult to ride.

👉 By starting at your real level and moving up as you improve, CBS setups grow with you. This is how we “build riders, not just suspension.”

Bottom line: Do not buy what you wish you could handle. Buy what you can actually ride right now. That is how you get faster, more confident, and eventually move up the ladder.

Learn about our suspension setup tiers.

  • The Novice setup is built for riders who are new to MX Bikes or still finding their comfort zone. At this level, stability and predictability matter most. The goal is to keep the bike feeling planted and forgiving so you can focus on learning lines, throttle control, and race craft without fighting the suspension.

    Every Novice setup is tested to absorb bumps smoothly, reduce unwanted swapping, and make corner entry feel easy. It won’t be the fastest setup on the track, but it will give you the confidence to push harder lap after lap.

    Perfect for: new players, casual racers, or anyone who wants a comfortable baseline to build from.

  • The Intermediate setup is designed for riders who already have a feel for MX Bikes and are ready to start pushing their limits. This tier blends comfort with performance — the suspension is still stable and forgiving, but sharper in response so you can carry more speed through rough sections and corners.

    These setups are tested across multiple skill levels to make sure they reward smooth inputs without punishing mistakes. They’ll let you race harder while keeping that all-important comfort and predictability.

    Perfect for: regular racers, improving riders, or anyone ready to step up their lap times without losing confidence.

  • The Pro setup is for advanced riders chasing every tenth of a second. Comfort takes a back seat to outright performance here. These builds are sharper, stiffer, and demand precision, but in the right hands they unlock maximum speed and stability at race pace.

    Pro setups are the same builds our top riders use in championship races. They require more control and commitment, but they’re capable of winning at the highest level.

    Perfect for: Pro ARL level riders, or soon to be pro riders, and anyone who wants the exact same performance package trusted at the front of the pack.
