IKON KONI Motorcycle Progressive Fork Springs Yamaha XS500 1975
The front suspension of any motorcycle has to not only support the bike but take the initial force of unevennesss on all road and track surfaces. If the springs in the forks have sagged or are too soft or too hard for any reason the ride will be less pleasurable and tend to give other parts of the front and rear suspension a harder time.
Ikon fork springs allow full suspension travel, alleviate sag and nose dive while contributing to improved stability, ride control and comfort.
Most Ikon fork springs are progressive rate designs giving comfort over smaller bumps and extra control for larger suspension movements.
Ikon fork springs are available for a large variety of motorcycles including scooters, modern and vintage road and trail bikes.
Ikon have considerable experience, gained from many years of specialising in suspension.
The Ikon story dates back to 1967 where the Koni suspension company launched a range of motorcycle shocks with internal adjustability and linear springs. Into the 70s gas assisted technology and progressively rated springs were added to the line-up. Then in the 80s in addition to their popular dial-a-ride shocks, new mono shocks were added to the range in response to the shift in motorcycle design.
2001 saw the dawn of Ikon suspension as an independent company specialising in motorcycle suspension. After negotiation with Koni, who were ceasing production of their motorcycle products and based on their technical legacy, 2001 saw the first Ikon shocks off the production line with the revamped 7610 series. Later on, aluminium bodied shocks were developed and a range of progressive fork spring kits were added to the product line-up. Ikon continued to expand with the introduction of mono tube twin shocks and the Basix series, all while maintaining a personal approach.
Over 50 years on and Ikon remains committed to helping riders of all backgrounds offering modern technology for older applications whilst also developing suspension solutions for new and current models, embracing their company motto of Bike On with Ikon and Because Your Ride Matters.
