Steering Dampers??
#1
Are steering dampers worth the money? What exactly do they do. Do they take some of the vibration out of the bars? If I was to get one, I would be getting a Denton. Anyone else have one. How do they perform.

Yes, Jason, dampeners are worth the money if you ride hard. I have had a PEP on my Warrior for about a year. They do just what the term implies.. that is they dampen the shock going to the bars which is transmitted thru your arms & entire body. It's basically a hydraulic shock absorber clamped to the steering column, adjustable for several levels of dampening, depending on your style & preference. I'd think that the Denton would be a good one with the 7 click adj altho I'm not sure many riders would need that range of adj. The PEP has three & is plenty for me. Usually you just pick the one that suits you & forget the rest, anyway. I think the PEP is around $99. BTW, another big plus on dampeners...it will reduce or even eliminate head shake on the top end, if that is a problem.

I have the PEP on my Warrior and it made a world of difference. I don't know why I ever rode without one. I can run whoops farther and faster without arm pump as well as have safer landings from jumps. If you've ever had the bars ripped out of your hands by hitting a small stump or rock you'll really appreciate the damper. Best $94 I ever spent!
