Although some may argue Hagon are expensive, I really can't complain at having full suspension made by Hagon. Thoroughly transformed my bike, does the job I personally require.

Having two SVs suspension to compare, one of which has Ohlins in the front, if I had the money right now, I'd put Hagon on that too.

Good heads up there Chris, hopefully it will benefit somebody
Who says hagon are expensive!? I think for an middle of the road shock upgrade their prices are very reasonable. My Penske shock cost me £600 so £250 (though I guess not as high spec) is very nice

I don't think so either.
Quite frankly some people don't know what they are on about on the odd occasion.

We all know that the more you pay the better something is supposed to be...apparently

The gladius has a .79 fork spring as stock. The SV comes with a .670 as stock and the springs are different. They take the same emmulators though.

.79 not that bad for most folk.

You measured rear linkage rate? Is it same as pointy or have they gone back to linear link?
