Post by: Gaz1978 on Thursday, 05 September 2024, 04:58 AM
Due to me having a broken adjuster on my rear righthand side shock, I'm looking gor something to replace them with.

I have these, atleast they look the same. Came with the bike so can't compare really, seem OK.

Hagon's are decent shocks. Several here including myself in the past have fitted them with good results as well as their progressive fork springs, I can't vouch for the ones in your link as myself and others went for the Hagon Nitro's, worth paying the extra in my opinion although the price seems to have increased a fair bit the same as most things these days

I had a pair of those on my K2 many years ago - good shocks but (personally) I found them a bit harsh, as there was not much adjustment (from memory, no pre-load adjustment) so I swapped them out for a set of Hagon Nitro's which were much better (for me) with more adjustment - but then they were twice the price.
