System 2
Available for pre-order now. Systems ship September 2024.
Motion Instrument’s System 2 is a mountain bike data analysis system, designed to make the suspension tuning process easier and faster. The system is simple to install, easier to understand and more durable than any system on the market. Using suspension data and insights provided by the MotionIQ app, the system provides excellent information to help riders make educated adjustments to improve their bike’s handling and control. With this data, you don’t need an engineering background or a wealth of suspension knowledge, and even the most seasoned riders can improve their ride.
Whether you’re riding a cross-country, enduro or downhill bike, tuning your bike’s suspension will not only give you a better ride, it will improve your efficiency, control and lessen fatigue. You may feel that your current setup is adequate but it may just be the beginning of what’s possible. But you’ll never know without data.
With System 2, you’ll see how much of the travel is being used at each wheel, and the time it’s spending there. You’ll be able to make educated adjustments and see how those changes directly affect your ride. With lightweight cross-country bikes, suspension efficiency is critical to gaining speed, adjusting to different terrain, and adapting as you get faster. For enduro, you’ll want to the right balance between pedaling performance and bump absorption over a variety of terrain. And for downhill, you’ll squeeze every microsecond you can out of your bike, and even be able to compare changes immediately after each test run.
*Fork Tracer is compatible with concentric single air valve forks (Rockshox, Fox, etc.). The Fork Tracer does not support EXT air springs or traditional coil spring forks. The rear sensor is designed to work on suspension links with bearings pressed into the link, and NOT the frame, with a max diameter of 38mm.
Before you purchase, please consider the following information:
System 2 is designed to work on enduro and cross country air spring forks. We do not support EXT or traditional coil spring forks. While you can modify our system to fit these, we will not warranty if the product is damaged being used on unsupported forks.
The System 2 rear sensor is designed to work on links with bearings pressed into the link, and NOT the frame. An easy way to see if your bike is supported is to use a Sharpie pen to mark your link:
Next, remove the air from the shock and sit on the bike. The Sharpie line should break apart:
Another thing you can check is to download the technical maintenance manual for your bike. It will list out all of your replacement bearing parts, etc. It will also have a mechanical assembly diagram. If you have located a link you think will work, consult this diagram. Below is an example of a frame we won’t natively support due to the bearing location in the frame.
We have produced a few parts that will allow you to fit the rear sensor onto bikes not natively supported. If you’d like to consult with us prior to purchase, send and email to support@motioninstruments and we’d be happy to look at your bike. Please send a couple of pics attached to the email.

One System, All Bikes
System 2 is designed to work with cross-country, trail, enduro and downhill air spring forks (dual crown forks require a fork adapter). The new Fork Tracer can easily adapt to different bikes with minimal setup time and the Rear Sensor simplifies capturing rear suspension activity.
The Fork Tracer uses an innovative induction sensor to capture position without a wearing constant contact procedure.
The Rear Sensor measures the angle rotation of a linkage pivot using a precision magnetic positioning sensor.
Unlike traditional potentiometer based systems, both Front and Rear Sensors are 100% electronic and do not wear out with normal use.
MotionIQ App
The heart of System 2 is the MotionIQ app. It records data from multiple sensors while you ride your favorite trails or dial in a racecourse. Use your iPhone, Apple Watch or Android to gather data wirelessly and make recordings, then view the results instantly on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android. All of your data is stored securely on your iCloud account or your favorite cloud storage provider. Use MotionIQ to view your suspension sag in real time, see how often you bottom out, or compare your front/rear balance. You can generate a report to easily compare results from multiple runs using your favorite spreadsheet application.
