Passion. Precision. Performance.
At Darkart Motosport, motorcycles aren’t just a job — they’re our obsession.
We live and breathe performance tuning, suspension setup, and precision servicing for riders who demand the best from their machines.
Based in Pukekohe, New Zealand, we specialise in suspension, performance, and race preparation for both road and competition bikes. Whether you’re carving up back roads, hitting your first track day, or chasing championship points, we make sure your bike performs exactly as it should — flawlessly.
Our Story
Darkart Motosport was founded by Leroy Rich, a certified suspension technician with years of experience in international race paddocks, including World Supersport (WSS), British Superbike (BSB), and Spanish Superbike (ESBK) championships.
After years supporting professional race teams, Leroy returned home with one goal — to offer New Zealand riders the same level of precision and expertise found in top-tier motorsport.
That race-bred knowledge now fuels every service, setup, and consultation that happens inside the Darkart Motosport workshop.

What Our Clients Say
Best suspension guy in the game. Leroy is the only man you should be getting advise from and getting your suspension serviced through. He really pulls out all the stops to ensure you get the best service and get the most out of your ride.
Luke Temple
Very good work. Have couple bikes that are completely different and different sized riders. Leroy helps you work through the problems by not changing to many things at once. Good steady progress leading to an excellent result. He even made Pukekohe smooth 🤣🤣
John Oliver
Leroy did a great job on the initial setup of my race bike, but the thing I really like about Leroy is how easy he is to talk to about the ongoing setup as I get faster .This has enabled me to get a better understanding of my suspension and I can now give him feedback on what my bike is doing.
Patrick Ansted
Top class guy, Leroy knows his stuff, very helpful with a professional background from BSB in UK. Don’t waste your time with dangerous so called Guru’s.
