Philosophy
“ It's unwise paying too much, but worse paying too little. By paying too much, you lose a little money. By paying too little, you could lose everything, because what you've bought would be incapable of doing what it was bought for. The law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's wise to add a bit for the risk you run and if you do that, you can pay for something better. "
That said and with this in mind, the Suspension Shop is servicing the motorcycle community in Australia and overseas as well as furthering the research, manufacture and development of top quality world class shock absorbers for racing purposes and casual driving without breaking the bank.

Spring Kits - Improve Your Motoring Performance.
Spring Kits
In a perfect world the suspension of your motorbike would react differently every time. The top half of the spring would be supple and would react flexibly to absorb small bumps and irregularities instantly. As the spring compresses, it becomes more rigid so even large bumps and holes in a road surface will not cause the suspension to bottom out.
For cost-efficiency reasons, new motorbikes are equipped with linear springs. Compressing the top half of this type of spring takes just as much force as compressing the bottom half. The result is that the top of the spring is in fact too rigid and the bottom too supple. Fortunately, this perfect world does exist. Hyperpro produces progressive springs whereby the top half is easily compressible and compression of the bottom half is much harder.

Hyperpro Springs Pricelist and ONLINE ORDERS
Hyperpro Offers Following Spring Kits:
Front Fork & Rear Shock Progressive Spring Combi Kits
Spring kits are available separately, with fitting instructions, but achieve a greater result when combined as a Combi Kit. Combining the qualities of the front and rear spring kits, together with the full suspension set-up manual, the Hyperpro Combi Kit is the most cost effective suspension improvement package available for your bike.
Progressive springs always adjust themselves instantly to changing circumstances. If you carry a passenger on your motorcycle, the spring should provide more resistance and this is certainly the case with progressive springs. Hyperpro progressive springs even respond to the amount of fuel left in your tank.
Front Fork Spring Kit
Designed to use the maximum front fork stroke, under heavy breaking without upsetting front grip. Our progressive Spring Kit comes complete with fork oil and full fitting-instructions.
A linear spring has a specific frequency and therefore, could resonate at that particular frequency. Resonance is not only very annoying it can also be dangerous. Progressive springs do not have a frequency so therefore never resonate; an obvious difference!

Rear Shock Spring Kit
Our progressive rear spring is designed to smoothly transfer engine power to the road whilst controlling the geometry of your machine. This will give you more stability and significantly reduce tyre wear.
These springs are not only suitable on the track, but more also on the road. It absorbs irregularities in the roads, and saves you from hitting the bump with passengers at the back or heavy loads. Rear springs are available in the Hyperpro Colors Purple and Black.
On The Road Or Track HYPERPRO Gives You:
- more stability over bumps
- more comfortable riding
- dramatically improved tyre life
- more grip in the dry or the wet
- more confidence - makes you ride more comfortable and/or faster
Low Friction Hyperpro Fork Oil
Hyperpro fork oil has special low friction additives to help make your fork action smoother and more consistent over a wide range of operating temperatures.

Progressive Springs - Less Braking Distance.
A motorbike with progressive springs reduces the braking distance by 15 to 20 percent in comparison to a bike with linear springs. As well, motoring performance improves considerably as a result of progressive springs. Small bumps and irregularities on the road get absorbed immediately, while large bumps or holes are intercepted by the more rigid spring part. This results in a motorcycle that is faster on racing tracks and safer on public roads.
With HYPERPRO's constant rising rate springs, you have maximum efficiency when you brake. Here's why: as you apply the brakes, the suspension loads the front tire. This results in the tire biting into the track causing more load. In a normal spring this can result in a "dive". But with HYPERPRO's rising rate spring, instead of too much dive you get increased resistance, giving the tire even more bite. This in turn puts more load on the tire further stiffening the spring and creating a chain reaction of braking and traction. The result is improved braking.
What is Rising Rate Suspension?
In a normal spring, the coils are evenly spaced and compress at the same rate. For example, if you have a spring that has ten coils spaced a centimeter apart, and you push down one centimeter on the spring, the entire spring compresses one centimeter and each coil will then be 0.9 centimeter apart.
In a two-step linear spring (or one-step rising rate), about half the coils have shorter spacing. As the spring compresses, the coils move closer. At a certain point, the shorter spaced coils touch, effectively eliminating them from the spring. You then have a spring comprised of only the longer coils. This "second-step" spring will be much stiffer than the whole spring (the more coils, the easier it is to compress the spring). The result is that you have one set of handling characteristics before the shorter coils touch and then you have another, completely different, level of response after they touch.
Unfortunately, your suspension needs do not come in only two flavors when you ride. They constantly change. In a perfect world, it would take almost no force to start the coil compressing, but then as the down forces grow, you would want the spring to become stiffer and stiffer in response, giving you maximum control, comfort and braking.
Better Handling
Whether in town, on the highway or at the track, a rising rate spring improves handling performance. Since the spring has a rising rate of resistance, it's very sensitive to small inputs such as imperfections in a road. This means an incredibly smooth ride. However the spring also gives you the stiffness you need during hard braking and turning. The end result is a perfect harmony of comfort and control.
Better Stability
HYPERPRO springs don't chatter. It's that simple. A stock spring has a specific frequency. If the spring encounters this frequency while on the road it will start to resonate. You feel this as a dangerous and uncomfortable chatter. Since HYPERPRO springs are rising rate, there is no single frequency that the spring will respond to and they can't chatter. Your bike will show noticeably improved stability.
Better Road Holding
A rising rate spring means a smooth transition in response to a change in road conditions. Hit a bump and the tire rises quickly at the beginning of the bump then stabilizes and lowers quickly on the back end, all in a fluid motion. This means maximum rubber on the road at all times. In the rain this could be the difference between maintaining traction and sliding. At the track and on the road this means vastly improved tire wear. If you race, think about what it means to get ten more laps out of a set of tires. If you ride on the street, think about the money save by buying one less set of tires.
Always a Perfect Setup
The more force you put on a HYPERPRO spring, the greater the resistance. This means a HYPERPRO spring will automatically adjust if you put a passenger on your bike. It will also automatically adjust to your weight. If you weigh 50 kg or 150 kg, a HYPERPRO spring gives you a perfect setup right out of the box. HYPERPRO springs even respond to changes in the amount of fuel in your tank!
