About Us

Stillwell Performance was founded with one purpose in mind; Build ultimate off road dirt bike suspension for where YOU ride and race.  Owner Alan Stillwell is nationally recognized as an expert suspension tuner, and is the resident suspension expert on ThumperTalk.com, with over 400,000 members.

In 2010 we brought home two individual Gold Medals at the ISDE, helped our Team USA Junior Trophy and Women’s Cup riders podium the event, placed 2nd Overall in the WORCS Series Pro 2 class, made the box at the National EnduroCross Series, won 7 class titles and countless individual races in regional series across the country.  We have had our bikes tested in the pages of Dirt Rider magazine, and you will find us on the line at the WORCS Series, National EnduroCross as well as the ISDE.  We are serious about making our suspension best in class for our customers.

As the #1 Race Tech Performance Center in the USA, we have access to state of the art suspension products, technology, and support. That, combined with Stillwell Performance custom valving specs creates “Ultimate Suspension” for your ride.  We work closely with the Race Tech Development team on our race equipment, and the results of our testing go straight from the finish line into YOUR bike!

We take great pride in the fact that we log THOUSANDS of miles each year, testing our setups at the WORCS Series, GNCC Series, National EnduroCross Series, as well as the mountains, desert, tight woods and the Baja (follow our team right here, or at our partner site www.thumpertalk.com). We test and race with riders of all skill levels, riding all brands of bikes (take a look at our image gallery tab).  We sponsor series champions in WORCS, ISDE and many regional circuits.

We design custom suspension valving specs based on all the important criteria; Your bike, your skill level, where you ride, how you ride, and what is important to YOU.

We do not take a “one size fits all” approach. We continually take what we learn and apply it to your specific requirements. (Check out our Rider Testimonials page.)

We test exhaustively on all brands and models. We can setup your bike for any terrain; From a gnarly rock craving singletrack machine to a whoop swallowing desert sled, to a bike that can handle both off road and MX. We spend a significant amount of time with you discussing your specific needs prior to starting work on your suspension. We provide unlimited phone support for you after the work is completed (and if we are riding in your area, we can also organize a suspension tuning ride for our customers.) And, when you send your suspension back in to us for routine servicing, we will install any new valving updates at no additional charge with a paid servicing.

We had a phenomenal year in 2010 and it was due to your support and your referrals. We are always riding, racing, and testing to ensure you have “Ultimate Suspension!”  Have a great season!

Keep It Pinned,
Alan Stillwell
