Your suspension isn't broken. It's set up for a stranger. Every dirt bike leaves the factory tuned for an average rider who isn't you. Dialed Offroad builds your clicker settings around your actual weight, bike, and terrain in about two minutes. Then it gets smarter every time you ride. HOW IT WORKS Add your bike. Pick from thousands of MX, enduro, and offroad models. Answer a few questions. Your weight, skill level, terrain, and how you ride. Get your baseline. Fork and shock clickers, sag target, and air pressure, all zero referenced so you can set them in the garage with no guesswork. Ride it. Then tell the app how it felt. It adjusts. Harsh on braking bumps? Rear kicking? Front tucking? Answer a 10 second check-in and get a refined setup that fixes what you felt. That last part is what makes this different. Charts and forum threads give you a starting point. Dialed Offroad gives you a setup that learns your riding, ride after ride, and keeps every version in your history so you can always go back. WHAT YOU GET Personalized baseline: Clicker settings, sag, and spring check for your exact bike and weight. Know if your stock springs even work for you before you chase clickers. Ride and refine: The check-in loop turns how the ride felt into targeted setting changes. One change at a time, the way suspension should be tuned. Setup history: Every version saved. See what changed, why it changed, and restore any setup you liked. Your garage: All your bikes in one place, each with its own setups and history. Works trackside: Set your clickers from zero in the pits. No tools chart, no guessing which way is softer. WHO IT'S FOR Motocross, enduro, trail, and offroad riders on full size bikes. From your first bike to your race bike, if you've ever wondered whether your suspension is holding you back, it probably is, and it's probably just set up wrong. WHY RIDERS USE IT Suspension setup is the biggest performance upgrade most riders never make. Shops charge hundreds for a revalve when the settings you already have might be the problem. Dialed Offroad gets your existing suspension working for your body and your terrain first, and tells you honestly when clickers can't fix it and springs are the real answer. Sign in with Apple or Google. Free to start: add your bike and get your first tune, then unlock your full setup and the ride and refine loop with a 7 day free trial. Ride it dialed.
