The perfect, compliant and controlled road shock - built just for you, to your exact specification, from your suspension specialists, HPS
Despite being Nitron's entry level bespoke rear shock absorber, with its full 40mm diameter piston, this unit will outperform much more expensive units from the "bigger" manufacturers and will always offer a significant improvement in comfort and response over the OE shock fitted to your bike - even if it has a remote or piggy-back reservoir. It features a totally uncomplicated single adjuster knob which tunes both rebound and compression damping simultaneously - making it perfect for the road biased rider and, don't forget, we have a special build service for shorter riders who need a lower seat height; please ask for details.
Made in England, all Nitron shocks supplied by HPS are totally rebuildable and backed with a full UK technical support and service operation.

"Nitron Sport shock... Affordable, high quality suspension unit for road riders." Rupert Paul, Journalist, BIKE magazine
After
fitting the Nitron shock our customer said...
"I was slightly surprised when I sat on the bike that the suspension
moved and that when I rode it my pelvis did not flex. It also became apparent
that I don't have double vision at speeds over 60mph after all... and
the seat is not in fact made of forged steel. My kidneys appear to be
in the same place they were at the start of the ride which is a bonus.
The downside is that the plushness of the rear end now highlights just
how bad the forks are... The upside is that I don't have to buy a new
seat!
I should have done this years ago. Thanks for your help."
MG, Swindon Honda Fireblade
"I've been running one for a whole two weeks so far. First impressions are very positive - no more squatting under power, no more running wide, and able to take a luggage and pillion without fear of grinding the hugger on the undertray.
Off to Italy, two up and luggage on Friday. Will report back, but so far it has transformed the bike!
LATER... Been using the Nitron for a few months and thousand miles now. Can highly recommend it for the improvements on handling, improved ride comfort and extra adjustability. The difference in handling, two up and with a lot of luggage, around Italy was marked compared to similar performance on the standard shock."

"Just a short note to say the shock has arrived and I fitted it at the weekend.
May I also say how much I appreciate the whole experience of dealing with HPS (and Nitron) and that we are so pleased with the result - this shock has transformed my wife's CB300R and we could not be happier with the outcome."
IH, Ipswich Honda CB1000R 2019
When ordering from HPS, please include your weight (with any specific requirements you may have regarding whether you want a lower or higher default seat height - i.e. if you are taller or shorter than average) and state how your bike is used (i.e. road solo only, road with pillion, road and track or track only etc.) as we will be building your shock to your specific order with the optimum length, spring rate and damper adjustments pre-set for you.
Please don't hesitate to call us at HPS to ask your suspension questions - we will be very happy to discuss your needs and assist.
HPS will build your shock to order with the specification based on your individual needs and with all adjustments pre-set (see above)
Large 40mm piston for more precise and consistent damping control (23.5% more damping oil flow than Ohlins TTX 36mm piston)
Very straightforward single adjuster for rapid combined damping adjustment
Manufactured from a hard-anodised corrosion-resistant CNC machined aluminium alloy body, combined with the same high quality internal components as in Nitron's range-topping shocks
Pressurised Gas-Monotube design
Manual preload adjustment with special precision dual-ended pin-spanner included, or...
Optional remote Hydraulic Preload Adjuster (HPA) for instant changes to rear ride-height (eliminates use of C-Spanner) to vary steering response between road and track (also ideal for shorter riders or for those bikes where the laden weight varies significantly; e.g. from solo to with pillion & luggage)
*Adjustable/increasable length as standard (for most bikes please confirm re. your bike prior to ordering) to fine tune ride-height and steering)
Shorter shocks available to order for many bikes (please call/contact to confirm) for smaller riders who may wish to lower seat - typical seat height reduction achievable is up to 30mm/1.25"
Very light weight (e.g. Triumph 675, more than 0.5 Kg lighter, even with Hydraulic Preload Adjuster included for Race version)
3rd piston Shim-Stack for very low speed rebound damping control
Teflon lined low-friction rose jointed eyes where applicable (bike-dependent end fittings may differ from those shown here)
Ultra low-friction piston rod seal design
Completely rebuildable/re-valvable with rapid UK maintenance and support service
By far the highest quality and best value entry level bespoke shock you can buy
Includes Full 5 Year Warranty from HPS
