i got a Q about the new hyperpro dampers. it says on the box they are speed sensitive dampers.. doesnt that suck for stoppies?
i asked for a conventional (linear) damper, not a progressive damper.
also, i dont think its very stiff!! or are they stiff enough?

any input??

i want to roll big so i need to be safe!

 

dont you want the dampening to be equal all the time?? so a slapper doesnt have the chance to even begin? i had a bitubo with a little play in it and at almost the heaviest setting it gave me this: http://movie.rwpstuntriding.com/StoppieWheelyday.wmv

 

i already posted this to you in another thread, but, thats sick, the way you fought through that!!!! Also, i think a dampner is only an aid, not a fix-all. i would recommend, from my experience, a top mount, such as a scotts or GPR, they seem to work best for people that i ride with...

 

do your self a favor and go with gpr or scotts...every hyperpro i've had and rod style have been blowing seals and leaking from having them on the highest or high settings all the time.nice height on those too..i just got back on the bike from catching a nasty slapper and breaking my collar bone at a comp...and i had a rod style Matris which let me down...now i roll with a gpr

 

hehe thanks!

a rotary damper is nice, yeah but customer service and stuff is difficult since i'm in europe.. costs a lot to send and stuf..
my stick style bitubo worked GREAT until it got some play and they didnt want to fix it for me.. so i said **** it.

 

i suck at stoppies, but with a speed activated damper, i suck even more...

 

ebay.com is ur friend

 

okay on the damper itself it says CSC which means lineair. thank god.
maybe hyperpro can rebuild with a little bit thicker oil?

 

Just my

Bill D uses a hyperpro

 

and look how low his stoppie is...

 

I like my Ohlins... a lot

 

+1 kinda gets in the way of a upper fairing stay but worth it. and mine was FREE!

 

get a damper!

I went from getting little wobbles occasionaly on fast endo's, to eating **** at 40mph in an endo

 

Hyperpro 4 life!!!

Ive had nasty slappers on gpr's yuck

When you run dirt bars though you can nearly use whatever

 

my buddy runs a hyperpro and when he had it all the way tight i couldnt even move the bars when i was sitting on his bike so idk

just my .02

 

so the lineair csc model is the one to go with

 

My .02

Rod type dampers > than rotary style (scotts etc)... rotary have more "slop" in my opinion

I rock a Toby, its pimp, have rolled 650+ with it no problems

 

ya my buddy was sayin he wanted to try a rode style because his gpr has a bite of slop even brand new out of the box. i want to try a hyperpro + they look pimp as hell !!!!!!!!!!!

 

i hope the new gpr doesnt suck as much as the old ones...
