I was just wondering if there was anyone out there that had tried Hagon shocks. I have been looking at them cos they have a REAL distributor in Aus and the delivery is $45AUD compared to 188.541 AUD for the work's street trackers.

So these are all progressive arrangements but I just need someone to say something like "Yeah, I've got them and they are great" or whatever and then I'll go from there. I can't imagine they would be too bad a shocky actually and if I could scrape enough dough for the Nitros, well then I would probably be a really happy camper. So anyone got some experience here I would appreciate hearing it. tks

Did you ever try any other shocks.I too am interested in the Hagon.I don't think I can swing the nitrogen ones here they want over $500 US for them.I was thinking of the basic all black ones that start at $194 US. I figure they have to be better than the stock garbage they come with.I put the Icon front springs in and they did help the front,but I really have not heard anything good or bad about the Icon shocks. The Hagons come with the two year warranty so I figure they ought to be OK.--I hope !! :-D

I can't speak to their use on an America or SM, but I put the Classic Black Shrouded Hagon shocks on my T100 and noticed an impressive improvement. Prior to installation, I had road bumps going right up my back. If you are going to upgrade your shocks, you want to seriously consider doing the same for your fork springs. I installed the Hagon progressive springs and front end dive upon braking is gone. There are better shocks available, but kinda spendy, and for the money, the basic Hagons are a nice upgrade. Check out my photo album for photos:
