Unfortunately this has happened too many times.

Unfortunately, due to issues beyond my control, and consultation with my attorney, I have decided to move forward with rebranding back to the original ShockForce Suspension name and will begin getting things switched back over shortly.
Brief Backstory: About a year and a half ago I began the process of looking for an opportunity to take my small local suspension business to the next level, offering greater options, and specifically, bike setup and valving options without starting from scratch with R&D. That’s where TBT Racing came in. We were sold by owner Travis Flateau on the legitimacy of the franchise setup and what growth it would offer my business moving forward. Without getting into specific details at this time, what was sold is not what has been delivered.
Each business decision I have made in regards to ShockForce Suspension LLC has been to provide options and a future for my family and my customers. Although due diligence was done on my part prior to signing the agreement with TBT Racing, continual issues and further questions have arisen over the last 13 months that had me questioning what TBT Racing was truly about and the legitimacy of the operation. Is it the money or is it actually about the franchise owners/customers? A personal threat, removal from the website and access to my email taken away, has left me no choice but to continue on with SFS. I am still under a franchise agreement and own the TBT Racing – Oregon franchise and will have further updates once the legal process plays out, and unfortunately, I am not the only owner currently in this position.
I appreciate all the support during this transition and look forward to the next steps in this suspension journey. --Jason, SFS
