Hyperpro suspension options for the CB1100

[Guth_imp]

I recently noticed that Hyperpro was listed amongst the vendors on one of the Japanese sites so I thought I would investigate a bit further for info to share with the forum. Hyperpro is a Dutch manufacturer of high-end steering dampers and suspension components. They offer a few different options for the CB1100 — from straightforward emulsion style shocks to piggyback units featuring separate controls for high and low speed compression as well as rebound damping (their 3 D shocks). Their shocks are built to order per your weight and riding style needs. Hyperpro also also offers upgraded spring kits for the front suspension. For those in the States, more information can be found here: http://www.epmperf.com. Their stuff isn't cheap (similar to Ohlins), and I have no personal experience with them. But it does look like an option worth investigating for those so inclined.

If you contact them, ask for Klaus Huenecke. He is who responded to my inquiry and seemed to be very knowledgeable.

All the best,
Guth

thanks for this! while looking at the link I also saw YSS Suspension with their External Reservoir/Piggyback twin shock with Comp/Reb & Preload are reasonably priced. Will Call them tomorrow....

The Hyperpro piggy back shock are listed in the Honda Acc catalog. Hyperpro and Moriwaki parts are offered by the dealers and are Honda quality. The shocks are around $1600.

Here is the information that I received from EPM (as of July 5, 2013):

Quote:The shocks come as either emulsion shock, with remote reservoir or
fixed or articulated piggy back reservoir.
The shock is called the " 3 D " model.
The available features are rebound damping, high and low speed
compression damping, ride height or length adjuster and remote pre-load
adjuster.

Please check our web site for more details, models and other
available products at http://www.epmperf.com

The Hyperpro shock has some advantages over other products
on the marketplace today.

--- It has a 16 mm shaft which is not only sturdier, but also displaces
more oil in the compression stroke so that you can regulate the compression
and rebound damping better.

--- The shocks have a new seal design which has been proven in tough
MOTO-cross competition use and showed that it is far better than others when
it comes to leakers.

--- The Hyperpro " 3 D " shock utilizes the "Bladder" technology when it
comes to separate the oil from nitrogen gas. Other manufacturers utilize a
floating piston. A floating piston always has to overcome stiction first
before it begins to move. A rubber bladder does not "know" what friction or
stiction is and therefore reacts smoother and quicker to pressure changes.

--- The Hyperpro shocks come with a progressive spring to ensure a compliant
ride and to prevent bottoming out under load.

The shocks come with a black spring.
A purple color spring may be available.

Guth,
Did you mention a group buy?

lola, I agree that the YSS products look more encouraging from a cost standpoint and they offer quite a variety of model options. Please be sure to post up your findings regarding model availability for the CB1100.

Guth,
Did you mention a group buy?

No, sorry.

I put a HyperPro rear suspension on my DL1000 and it was a nice upgrade. Good stuff at reasonable prices.

I like it but I feel like the purple would look funky with our red tanks. Now if you swapped on the black tank...

Black springs are avalible.

Yeah I saw that but I feel like the purple spring would make it a little more unique looking. I wish I had the photoshop skills to mess around with that kind of stuff.
