Hi,

I am in need of a new rear shock. Hagon or Works ? Any input would help.

TIA Kelly

I am planning on trying the New YSS from EPM performance talk to Klaus.

Got a Hagon from California. Shipping and all $469 . Got it in 5 days. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY:bluesbrother:

There are two Hagon Distributors in the US. Hagon LLC in California which is where I ( and Phillip Sisk above) got mine. 399.00 shipped with regular spring, 469 shipped with up rated heavy duty spring. They typically have them in stock ready to ship and if you want Hagon, that's the place to go. The other is Dave Quinn Cycles who does not stock them and is more money.

 

I have not ridden a Works equipped bike to compare so I can't provide a comparison. I could not in my mind see how the works shock was worth over $300 more than the Hagon. Warranty on the Hagon is better at 2 years unlimited mileage, both are rebuild-able, visually construction quality appears equal to me.

 

I like the set screw and single ring spring pre-load adjuster on the Hagon, vs having a locking ring (two rings)that requires two spanner wrenches to tighten. That siad I have not had to adjust the preload on mine.

Just installed a hagon and put around 600 miles on it much better than the worn out stock I am satisfied

I have a Works, not happy with it, but spent too much on it to change to another brand...

RSTDdog, did you by the standard shock or the heavy duty one?
