Nitron NTR R1 Sport - Big-Piston Integral Pressurised Gas-Monotube Rear Shock Absorber for Honda Motorcycles

Ref: NTSPTHON


Simply fit and feel the ride

The perfect, compliant and controlled road shock - built just for you, to your exact specification, from your suspension specialists, HPS


Despite being Nitron's entry level bespoke rear shock absorber, with its full 40mm diameter piston, this unit will outperform much more expensive units from the "bigger" manufacturers and will always offer a significant improvement in comfort and response over the OE shock fitted to your bike - even if it has a remote or piggy-back reservoir. It features a totally uncomplicated single adjuster knob which tunes both rebound and compression damping simultaneously - making it perfect for the road biased rider and, don't forget, we have a special build service for shorter riders who need a lower seat height; please ask for details.

Made in England, all Nitron shocks supplied by HPS are totally rebuildable and backed with a full UK technical support and service operation.

"Nitron Sport shock... Affordable, high quality suspension unit for road riders."
Rupert Paul, Journalist, BIKE magazine


After fitting the Nitron shock our customer said...

"I was slightly surprised when I sat on the bike that the suspension moved and that when I rode it my pelvis did not flex. It also became apparent that I don't have double vision at speeds over 60mph after all... and the seat is not in fact made of forged steel. My kidneys appear to be in the same place they were at the start of the ride which is a bonus.

The downside is that the plushness of the rear end now highlights just how bad the forks are... The upside is that I don't have to buy a new seat!

I should have done this years ago. Thanks for your help."

"I've been running one for a whole two weeks so far. First impressions are very positive - no more squatting under power, no more running wide, and able to take a luggage and pillion without fear of grinding the hugger on the undertray.

Off to Italy, two up and luggage on Friday. Will report back, but so far it has transformed the bike!

LATER... Been using the Nitron for a few months and thousand miles now. Can highly recommend it for the improvements on handling, improved ride comfort and extra adjustability. The difference in handling, two up and with a lot of luggage, around Italy was marked compared to similar performance on the standard shock."

"Just a short note to say the shock has arrived and I fitted it at the weekend.

May I also say how much I appreciate the whole experience of dealing with HPS (and Nitron) and that we are so pleased with the result - this shock has transformed my wife's CB300R and we could not be happier with the outcome."

When ordering from HPS, please include your weight (with any specific requirements you may have regarding whether you want a lower or higher default seat height - i.e. if you are taller or shorter than average) and state how your bike is used (i.e. road solo only, road with pillion, road and track or track only etc.) as we will be building your shock to your specific order with the optimum length, spring rate and damper adjustments pre-set for you.

Please don't hesitate to call us at HPS to ask your suspension questions - we will be very happy to discuss your needs and assist.

  • HPS will build your shock to order with the specification based on your individual needs and with all adjustments pre-set (see above)
  • Large 40mm piston for more precise and consistent damping control (23.5% more damping oil flow than Öhlins TTX 36mm piston)
  • Very straightforward single adjuster for rapid combined damping adjustment
  • Manufactured from a hard-anodised corrosion-resistant CNC machined aluminium alloy body, combined with the same high quality internal components as in Nitron's range-topping shocks
  • Pressurised Gas-Monotube design
  • Manual preload adjustment with C-Spanner included, or...
  • Optional remote Hydraulic Preload Adjuster (HPA) for instant changes to rear ride-height (eliminates use of C-Spanner) to vary steering response between road and track (also ideal for shorter riders or for those bikes where the laden weight varies significantly; e.g. from solo to with pillion & luggage)
  • *Adjustable/increasable length as standard (for most bikes please confirm re. your bike prior to ordering) to fine tune ride-height and steering)
  • Shorter shocks available to order for many bikes (please call/contact to confirm) for smaller riders who may wish to lower seat - typical seat height reduction achievable is up to 30mm/1.25”
  • Very light weight (e.g. Triumph 675, more than 0.5 Kg lighter, even with Hydraulic Preload Adjuster included for Race version)
  • 3rd piston Shim-Stack for very low speed rebound damping control
  • Teflon lined low-friction rose jointed eyes where applicable (bike-dependent end fittings may differ from those shown here)

  I could hardly believe the transformation...  I fitted the shock this afternoon and then went for a ride on the bike, and to be honest I could hardly believe the transformation.    Richard - Honda 2002 CBR1100XX Blackbird


  Noticeable difference  Got the shock ,looks really nice, stuck it on the Blackbird and took off for 1700 mile road trip, noticeable difference, only problem being it is giving the front suspension a real showing up ! I haven't tried any fine tuning yet, but so far it's definitely an improvement.    John - Honda 1999 CBR1100XX Blackbird


  excellent service, many thanks     Peter - Honda CBR900RR 1996

Nitron Hydraulic Preload Adjuster
[+] CLICK HERE FOR A LARGER IMAGE...

Nitron Hydraulic Preload Adjuster

Ref: 54145

The hydraulic preload adjuster allows you to quickly and easily change the preload on the spring via a remote knob making c-spanners and other tools unnecessary.

This is particularly useful for people who regularly take pillion passengers and/or luggage, as it allows you to compensate for a variation in load, maintaining the comfort and handling characteristics of your motorcycle by retaining the correct ride height. It is also very useful for bikes used on the track, particularly for racers as it allows fine tuning of the ride height which often needs to be different from one track to another.

This is normally added at the time a shock is purchased but the unit can also be retrofitted to your existing Nitron shock to replace the manual preload adjustment. Please call HPS to check the availability for your existing shock first as there may be a possibility that the spring will need to be replaced for that of a smaller one and please note the retro fitment of a hydraulic preload adjuster requires your shock to be returned to us.
