Independent Tests Tested by Fast Bikes Journalist and BSB Racer, Al Fagan, he said of the Nitron Sport Shock on our Fireblade:
"...you have to have a sorted rear end, the 'Blade is catered for by a Nitron Shock. Although it doesn’t have the vast adjustment of a gazillion different settings that an Öhlins would, it still does the same job. Don’t be put off by the name and the budget status, the Nitron does more than enough ...producing a superbly balanced bike". Click here to see the full article
When a Nitron shock was installed and tested back-to-back against an upgraded CBR600RR standard shock unit, Performance Bikes magazine found a 1.2 second lap time improvement on a two mile circuit lap and Journalist, Kev Smith, said of the Nitron Race Shock:
"The Nitron shock made an instant impression and really boosted confidence. It’s seriously good value." Click here to see the full article
NITRON’s philosophy is a straightforward; “Evolution and High-Quality Throughout”, meaning that as a result of their modular design, the top-end components for their race shocks are standard all the way through the NITRON range. All NITRON shocks are monotube shim type with a high pressure gas charge. Couple this with their large piston area and an all-aluminium alloy CNC machined totally rebuildable construction and you have an ultra low friction damper with excellent heat dissipation properties, ensuring total reliability and fade resistance. So, whether for road only, road and track or race only, HPS can provide the NITRON suspension for you to deliver consistent operation and handling, mile after mile and lap after lap.

Quotes taken from RiDe magazine reader's bikes feature...
"After 25K the original suspension was getting saggy. Mine now has a Nitron road shock with remote preload and I had an MCT service and repair, including a re-spring of the forks. The bike is now transformed and that’s not just psychological." MG, Honda 2003 CBR900RR Fireblade
