120 quid is still pretty pricey are there any alternatives that are a fair bit cheaper ?

pitty kev don't make spring kits !

Am I going to be making a mistake?
 

Hagon - � 434.50 with Hydraulic preload adjuster
Hyperpro fork springs and oil �123

Bike used mostly for A roads, 40 mile commute, Occasional tour where I don't avoid rough roads.

Occasional Green lanes and I want to do more of these.

Looking to make some improvements and am not sure which are the ight springs to go for.

Each to their own when it comes to suspension; what suits one person isn�t necessarily going to suit another. However, there are a couple of things I�ve discovered through experimentation and fiddling about that may help you make a decision�

Up front, I have tried both Hyperpro/Yacugar progressive springs and Ohlins straight rate fork springs back to back on my Tenere and I (personally) found the linear spring to perform more satisfactorily in direct comparison on similar terrain. Bear in mind it is much easier to set the sag on linear springs, and consequently get a consistent ride height. Also, the simple damper rod fork design on the Z seems better suited to coping with a straight rate spring, rather than the continually changing rates of a progressive spring. I also tried a number of different oil weights too. Of course some folk get on very well with a progressive setup, it depends on a number of factors, but my experiment was fairly controlled - same rider, conditions, load etc. just different springs. Have a read of this thread which details the comparison I made.

I don�t have any experience of the Hagon shock, although Steve (minkyhead) didn�t stick with it for long and changed to an Ohlins shock. Read into that what you will�

I eventually went for a Yacugar ER-S (identical to Hyperpro 360/460), but there are a good number of other options out there besides the Hagon, such as Nitron, Wilbers and Ohlins.

Essentially, in a nutshell, any change to the stock suspension will be for the better, whatever brand/type you go for. Just get the best components you can for the budget you have available.
