Personally, if I was going to be spending that sort if money(over ?250 ?) for a 'Single Clcker', I wouldn't buy Hagon. IMO, better built shocks out there for not much money.....Hyperpro, Technoflex, Nitron would be where I'd be looking.


Cheers
Ben

Edit: Only direct experience of them were on my Zephyr 550

I've got Hagon on the rear and the springs in the forks. They do make a good deal of difference. AND, unlike the other monoshocks that peeps rave on about its a direct replacement...no chopping of battery boxes or other mods that may be required. But thats just me and i like things to be simple. Yes 250 quid is a lot, but if you have the money then why not. Pmapp has just installed one on his curvy that he got off begay, and seems to happy with it now its calmed down after being jumped around by Royal Mail.lol

I love the whole suspension set up on mine now..its a case of potholes??..what potholes?? I can ride over them now and not get ejected out of the seat,or have my shoulders bounced in the sockets

I've just fitted a Nitron sport to my 650 and its fantastic compared to standard, got mine for £260, clearance sale price. You can get them for £295 on the nitron site highly recommend, as others who have had experiance with them will.
