NC750X(20-22)Wilbers rear shock absorber

On the Honda NC 750 XA/XS (RH09), the seat height has been reduced from 830mm to 800mm compared to its predecessor.

Originally, the fork has progressive springs, whereby the first spring rate is too low and thus also changes early to the second spring rate, which is clearly too hard.

We use slightly harder springs here at first, but softer, progressive springs in the second spring rate. This conversion results in better fork response.

The rear shock is also fitted with a progressive spring from the factory, which has a poor block value and thus permanently stresses the second spring, which is again too hard.

Our solution relies on linear springs on the strut, in conjunction with optimized rebound and compression damping.

The suspension geometry on the front and rear axles was sensibly adjusted via the negative spring deflections in order to correct the negative spring weights, which were slightly too high as standard.

This results in a safer ride and better handling.

 

The basic edition of the Wilbers Adjustline mono shock absorber comes along with the same technology as the more complex versions. The difference is that here we leave out the compression reservoir and thus the options for adjusting high- and low-speed compression. Nonetheless this shock absorber does not make any compromises concerning response behavior or durability. The radial piston, wet run, teflon guided self-aligning bearings and other features redefine the quality of a standard shock. Like usual the spring preload can be continuously tuned and the rebound can be set over an open-bleed system in 22 clicks. The shock absorber can be retrofitted with many other Wilbers accessories.
