DETAILS OF TWIN SHOCKS, 7610 AND 7610SP8
DAMPER TYPE
The 7610 is a twin tube hydraulic type damper. The damping
works by a controlled restriction of oil flow in the inner tube, the
outer tube acting as a reservoir. Part numbers with the addition "SP8"
are technically identical, but have a polished and chromed spring and
spring cover, as well as using the standard chromed damper body.
TUNED TO APPLICATION
Each motorcycle has its own specific set-up and character, so it
is impossible to make one standard shock absorber for all. At Ikon
every damper has been developed for each specific motorcycle to get
the best possible combination of damping and spring rate.
ADJUSTABLE DAMPING
By adjusting the rebound damping one can influence the level of
comfort and road-holding. The 7610 has 4 distinctive adjustment
positions, ranging from comfortable to sporty, to tune the bike to
your own preference. Adjustability is very easy: just a finger touch.
PROGRESSIVE SPRING
In a progressive rate spring, the distance between the individual
coil windings differ, this gives the spring a progressive
characteristic. When riding solo, the spring only moves in the soft
area, and the spring can easily compress giving a comfortable ride.
When riding with a passenger, or luggage, a firmer spring is needed.
Under these conditions, the spring moves in its stiffer area. Only
with a progressively wound spring it is possible to get the right
combination of a smooth ride and a high load capacity. Progressive
springs are standard on all 7610 series shocks.
ADJUSTABLE SPRING SEAT
It is possible to overload the suspension due to excess passenger
and/or luggage weight, which means the suspension then bottoms out
too easily on big bumps. This can be compensated by adjusting the
spring seat upwards to restore the original ride height. Three
positions are available, giving an increase in spring seat height of
up to 15mm. With each pair of Ikon shock absorbers a spanner for
adjusting the spring seat height is supplied.
SAFETY
Do not forget that safety is a major issue. The handling of your
motorcycle is essential for safe riding. Here the qualities of the Ikon shock absorber make a great contribution.
BUILT FOR A LIFETIME
Last but not least, Ikon's are built to last a lifetime. Once you
bought a set of Ikon's for your motorcycle, they usually will outlive
it. The reason for this comes from nature of the materials used in
the first place as well as the fact that all Ikon shocks are
rebuildable.
