Engineered in Bicester, the CK36 system features high-quality telescopic dampers with durable, corrosion-resistant finishes and carefully developed internal valving. Compared with the original lever-arm arrangement, the telescopic design delivers more consistent damping, improved wheel control and reduced body movement, particularly during cornering, braking and over uneven road surfaces.

The kit is supplied as a complete front suspension conversion and includes adjustable SPAX shock absorbers, purpose-designed mounting brackets, all required fixings and comprehensive fitting instructions. Adjustable damping allows the suspension to be tuned to suit individual driving preferences, whether prioritising long-distance touring comfort or firmer, more controlled handling.
