Machined in Pleasant Grove, UtahPrecision cone-valve suspension upgrades for KYB SSS, WP Xplor, WP Xact, and Showa dirt bike forks.
Every cone-valve kit is cut and assembled in one shop in Pleasant Grove, Utah. The hands that cut the cones are the hands on the bars every weekend.
No contract factories. No RMA maze. If it fails, we fix it.
A drop-in replacement for the stock mid-valve in KYB SSS, WP Xplor, WP Xact, and Showa cartridge forks. The cone opens wide on sharp hits and firms back down in the normal range.
Smoother on rocks. More composed on fast chop. Less wrist-cracking over a six-hour ride.
Our cone-valves have been ridden under Alpine XC's name as Red Cones since before Tintic was Tintic. Same hands, same shop, same kit.

Pleasant Grove sits at the edge of the Wasatch, an hour from the Tintic Mining District. The cones are cut here and tested in the high desert this company is named after.
Cone-valves designed, machined, and ridden by the founder since 2018. Decades of precision-machining experience behind every kit.
The Tintic Mining District is a ring of old silver towns in the Utah high desert. The kind of place where the pavement ends and the testing begins. The mark, the wordmark, and the chip on the brand's shoulder all came from out there.
He showed up in the brand sketches and refused to leave.
