Hello Matt Happy spring! Or is that happy springs. I absolutely love my Hyperpro setup. Hands down 100% better everything. Keep em coming. Scott

Wow that's really cool and awesome review on it my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come

Right on!

I enjoyed your review. Because of you I installed the front Hyperpro springs. I was easy to install since you demoed it in your video. Might go cheap on the rear and get the basic shock from Hyperpro. I am jumping on the band wagon to get you to do a video on the fork extenders. I installed them then later removed it. I like that little bit of fork rake/trail it provided. However, I felt that the wiring harness on the right side was to taunt. I am concerned about chaffing the wire bundle. I look forward to review from you.

Awaiting a review on the fork extenders. Saw your installation video and ordered a pair. Since it is still winter in this part of the world I haven't installed mine yet. Hoping that's gonna improve the overall geometry. I still don't understand why they haven't addressed the geometry question on the new 2023 model. (I am riding the 2020 model when it just came out).

Thanks for the video. I've been in contact with a local suspension shop about making my suspension better. If nothing pans out from them, I'm probably going to go with Hyperpro. I've also heard that T7 oem springs work great in the forks, and don't need any of the preload spacers. Are you still running the NiceCNC fork spacers, and if so, are you happy with them?

Just did the springs (and fork extenders) matt. Thanks for the advice, I like the setup. One question, what do you find are the best settings for the front fork compression and rebound damping?

@advmatt

Жыл бұрын

Glad this setup works for you. My compression setting is around 5 clicks from fully closed and my rebound is around 7 clicks from fully open. I like my suspension stiff and fast. I had the rebound more open but it had a resonate bounce on the highway. Let me know if you find these settings work for you.

Totally agree on this Matt! I do have almost the same setup: Hyperpro progressive front springs, but I got the (cheaper) adjustable emulsion rear shock. The main goal is for me to lowering the bike, but keep -correction- improved the overall handling of the bike. It rides so much smoother and also hard breaking is fully controllable and actually gives shorter break distances on the road. I haven't ride off-road yet, but I'm confident it will do excellent. Fun fact is: I do live near the Hyperpro factory here in the Netherlands. World class springs and suspensions supplier!

The stock suspension seems to work well so far but I'm also much lighter at 170lbs. Maybe just the fork springs would be good enough for me? I do use most of the travel in the forks now. The rear seems fine; I believe I have the preload at 6/10.

I have 23k miles. I am planning to push 30k this year. I don't have a good answer on how many miles this bike will do before it needs a rebuild. My best guess is 45k to 50k miles. It might be pushing it, but that is what everyone wants to know.

Hi Matt, I'm currently looking for videos about the Hyperpro suspension because I'm thinking about replacing mine. The stock suspension on my bike is actually quite good, but as you said it's a pain in the butt to udjast the preload of the rear shock and after initial setup I've never adjusted it again... Now my bike is at 24k on the odometer and the oil in the fork needs replacement, first 15k the suspention feeled nice and stable but now the oil in the fork is degraded and the rebound adjustment can't compensate for the difference in the oil properties anymore, and I started to feel a boat on waves effect when cornering. So I'm thinking to either just replace the oil in the fork or to also upgrade the rear shock, because I want to have the hydrawlic preload udjuster. The main concern for me is the price. I have 2 questions: 1. Did you select a standard weight suspension which rated from 70 to 100 or did you order the custom weight rating? What is your weight? My own weight is 80, but with gear it will probably be like 95 and with luggage I think it's more than a 100. Do you know what they meant by the rating from 70 to 100? Is it with or without gear? 2. Do you know if the rear shock can be serviced? I don't want to buy an expensive rear shock every 24k, so if it's possible to service it I will probably invest more in the shock, if not I will either buy a cheaper one or maybe even keep my stock one.

@advmatt

Жыл бұрын

OK, there are a lot questions in here. You need to get the seals replaced in your forks. When the seals are replaced the oil will be replaced but it is also a good time to upgrade the springs. I am using a progressive spring, which works great. The Hyperpro shock can be serviced. I also have a progressive spring on the shock. Since the springs are progressive you don't have to be as concerned about the spring rate. I weigh about 95kg as well, but with all my gear I am around 115kg on the bike. The shock has performed really well. The Hyperpro comes with a five year warranty and mine came with one service included, which I plan to use this fall. Hope this helps.

Regarding the progressive springs I will probably get them for the front fork too, but to be honest my stock front suspension is fine, it only needs the oil change to perform well again.

Start with fork springs to balance out the suspension. Part of the problem is the stock forks are really soft causing the rear to feel really stiff. Also open up the damping screw at the bottom of the shock to soften it. Try that before replacing the shock.

@@hunterferrand-mcbay166 it sounds like it has no oil. It should not behave like that. You have to have the shock rebuilt by a suspension company.
