Independent 3-way damping adjustment. The Nitron R3 shock is ideal for the most demanding riders who require maximum set-up flexibility. The piggyback or remote hose reservoir allows quick and simple independent adjustment of rebound and high and low speed compression damping. The large range of adjustment and high degree of feedback allows the experienced rider to fully exploit the potential of their bike.

Unique Bi-Axis
Hose Fittings
All Nitron hose type reservoir shocks come with our in-house developed Bi-Axis fittings that allow for simple and precise installation.
Hydraulic Preload Adjuster
Hydraulic Preload Adjusters (HPAs) are available for both 46mm and 40mm shocks, providing a simple and immediate way to adjust spring preload without the need for tools. With 50 clicks of precise adjustment, riders can quickly fine-tune their suspension settings to suit changing conditions.
This system eliminates the time and effort normally associated with altering a motorcycle’s ride height and attitude when carrying a pillion passenger or additional luggage. Using the conveniently located remote adjustment knob, preload can be increased or reduced in seconds, with no C-spanners or workshop tools required.
By allowing rapid compensation for variations in load, the Hydraulic Preload Adjuster helps maintain the motorcycle’s intended ride height, comfort, and handling characteristics. It is also highly beneficial for track use, enabling quick and accurate ride-height adjustments to meet the demands of different circuits and riding conditions.
