About Us

 ​Our research is conducted in real time; We ride & race a wide variety of bikes in all riding conditions. Our goal is to understand your needs and give you the best custom-tuned suspension and engine service available.  

 At the the age of 9, my parents bought me my first bike, (Yamaha mini enduro 60). I hit the desert and tracks with my dad. In 1979 on a KX 250 I started racing Motorcross at Saddleback and escape country. In the early 80's I turned Pro.​

I always did all my own work on my bikes but never touched the suspension; it was a mystery.  In the late 80's I met Bill Thomas, who talked me into working on my suspension. After that, I would go to his house every night to hang out and learn. He taught me how the shock and forks worked. I had no idea that would be the start of Shock Therapy Racing, now known as STR Motorsports. To this day,  I still ride & race weekly, I take great pride in my work I test all the time to develop the best possible suspension. It is definitely my mission to make my products work better than the rest. I guarantee it or I will work with you until it is.
I have been in the suspension business since the mid-'80s. I will service your suspension, inspect components or completely rebuild and revalve. We are at the track to ensure that you end up with the exact suspension tuning for your riding style and needs.

Enjoy your ride,
Steve Piattoni (Shockdoc)
