UPGRADE YOUR SUSPENSION
Suspension upgrades are relevant to every Harley rider. No matter your skill level, riding style, model or budget, suspension is the single most important part of your bike to get right.
Factory suspension is built to cover a wide range of riders and conditions. The trade-off? While it works fine, it’s a broad, one-size-fits-all solution with limited adjustability—meaning it can’t be fine-tuned to suit you and your unique riding style. Add to that New Zealand’s demanding and unpredictable road surfaces and your suspension is constantly being put to the test along with you.
Whether you ride Touring, Softail, Sportster or beyond—we’ve got the suspension upgrades to take your Harley to the next level. We also have products to suit all budgets.
7 REASONS TO INVEST IN SUSPENSION
1. INCREASED ROAD HANDLING
Upgrade your suspension and feel instantly more connected and confident. Whether you’re carving corners or cruising straight, enhanced grip and stability give you greater confidence—especially at increased speeds.
2. INCREASED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
Optimised suspension means more responsive braking. You’ll notice shorter stopping distances, stronger braking feel and feedback resulting in better control when it matters most.
3. MUCH SMOOTHER RIDE
New Zealand roads aren’t always rider-friendly. A suspension upgrade cushions you and your pillion from bumps and rough patches, transforming the ride into a much more comfortable experience.
4. ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
Dial in your perfect ride. With adjustable preload, compression, and rebound, you can fine-tune your suspension for solo rides, two-up touring, or loaded road trips. Firm, plush, sporty, or soft—you’re in control.
5. INCREASED PILLION COMFORT
A premium ride shouldn’t just be for the rider. Upgraded suspension boosts comfort and stability for your passenger too, making every ride more enjoyable for both of you.
6. PREDICTABLE HANDLING
Handle curves and corners with confidence. Suspension upgrades provide smoother, more reliable performance, helping your bike respond predictably no matter the terrain.
7. PLUSH, PREMIUM FEEL
It’s not just better—it feels better. Quality suspension adds a refined, luxurious touch to every ride, delivering a smoother, more enjoyable journey every time you hit the road.
