HAGON Stainless Steel Road Shocks
HAGON's Stainless Steel Roadshock Series is the well-known Roadshock variant with a polished stainless steel damper. The damper is an upgrade from the normal Roadshocks because it is made of stainless steel. After production, the dampers are fully polished, giving them a brilliant finish and a shiny look.
The HAGON Stainless Steel Roadshock damper contains a piston that moves through an oil-filled cylinder. When the wheel hits a bump, the shock absorber is compressed. The piston forces oil through small passages and valves. This process—hydraulic damping—ensures that the movement does not stop abruptly but is gradually slowed down.
Technical operation of the HAGON Stainless Steel Roadshock:
- Emulsion system: oil and gas (nitrogen) are in one chamber. This means they contain fewer components, making them simple and reliable. The emulsion system has fewer wear points and is less susceptible to leaks and pressure loss. Ideal for street use where consistency is important.
- Progressive springs: the spring rate increases as the shock is compressed further. This provides comfort for small bumps and firmness for large impacts.
- Adjustable preload: an adjusting ring allows you to adapt the initial compression of the spring, tuning the response to weight and riding style.
HAGON has been manufacturing shock absorbers since 1958, giving us extensive information on more than 2200 different motorcycle models. Each shock absorber is unique; length, weight, spring angle, and mounting bushes are just some of the factors to consider. We are happy to explain the variable factors below:
Length of the shock absorbers. We have the original length measurements of the shock absorbers originally installed on your motorcycle. Our dimensions and corresponding travel are shown in the table below. If you want longer or shorter shock absorbers, it is possible with us, free of charge; please contact us for this.

For each length, we offer 5 types of dampers and 12 types of spring rates; this is always a combination between these two variables and must be matched. A universal damper with varying spring rates is, in our opinion, not possible. Thanks to HAGON's years of expertise in shock absorbers, we know what should be installed as standard for your model. If you are heavier/lighter or often ride with luggage and/or a passenger, we will adjust your damper type and spring tension.

All spring rates are available with black springs, chrome springs, a narrow spring (SS, approximately 53mm wide), and a wide spring (SA, approximately 61mm wide). Technically, these types of springs all do the same thing; they are all progressive.
Now that we have determined the length, damper type, and spring rate, all that remains is to install the correct mounting bushes, for which we also have the data for your motorcycle. If you are building your own, we can often install the correct type. The variants we know are as follows:

COVERS
Covers are an addition to the shock absorbers to create certain looks. The covers are a cosmetic addition; they are separate from the technical quality of the shock absorber.
We have different sizes of covers.
