Nitron Vitpilen suspension

[monkeynuts]

Hi Chvit.
Im the first to have the Nitron fork internals, more than happy with the ride quality, Im fairly aggressive rider on the back roads where I live, and they are rough roads with lots of undulations and jumps !
Very shallow but the forks do look way better with the gold titanium nitride coating and Nitron internals

What springs are you riding in your nitron forks?

The road I mostly ride is very bumpy and rough in some sections, so it's good to hear that. I think I'll go this route.

Not sure what the spring rate is. Just specified my weight and Nitron fitted the appropriate springs !
It maybe in the paperwork, I ll have a look latter.

They might have indicated which spring rate was used on your build sheet/invoice.

 

[monkeynuts]

It is 7.5 N/M

Thanks Monkeynuts!

Anyone who is interested in the Nitron set up this is the following part number from Nitron NTFK22HU02

Also US folks- Fast Bike Industries (US distributor) said they can also get the 25mm and Pro (Kashima coated) versions from Nitron as well for the Vit.

EDIT: they came back and said only the 22mm kit is available for the Vit, sorry for the misinformation. Only the TVT22 cartridge kit (Part number above) is available as an option for the stock Vit forks

Great info @projek701

Anyone have experience with Hyperpro shocks? Apparently they have a rear shock for the vit.

Had them on an R1100GS and a G650X Challenge, really liked them.

I have one of their shocks on my tracer, very happy with it.
I also used them in the past for an overhaul of the suspension bits of a previous bike and very happy with the quality of work. They know what they are doing. Would definitely recommend them

 

[DWB]

Thanks for feedback. Reaching out to them now.

Had a Nitron R3 installed on my 2019 Svartpilen 701. So far so good! Way more stability in the bike. Solid Performance in PA did the work. They custom ordered the shock directly from Nitron.

Mine just arrived! Haven't had time to install it, but looking forward to it. I started commuting over the summer and the rear shock issues became apparent very quickly. I still have to figure out how to place reservoir. TBD.

What are the rear shock problems that many are having?

I adjusted mine and it seems to work as expected.

Hi

did the mounting bracket come with your shock or did the garage find something ?
