Our Story

With 20 years off-road riding experience, we here at Motoklik understand what riders really care about when it comes to their performance and safety. Our founder, Jens, has been riding motocross since he was 7 and has been addicted to moto ever since. 

​In case you’re wondering how the idea for Motoklik came about, let us tell you. One day when racing in the Summer of 2016, Jens bottomed out on the take off of a jump, causing him to lose his concentration. Jens landed off-line in some deep muck. The bike tucked and cartwheeled sending Jens down the track injuring his neck and causing a lot of damage to his bike. Luckily, he was OK, but the thought occurred, why isn’t there something to tell me how to set-up the suspension?

​The idea for Motoklik was born.
