• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Ikon Front Shocks - Who Uses 'Em & What Do You Think?

Am just climbing down the front shock rabbit hole for my 2023 RTL (Wilbers/BR-JRI/Elka/Etc), and have noticed just a few comments on these while perusing the multiple shock threads on this forum. (Note: I have the Baja Ron Ultra bar and end links.)

Ikon 7613-1006 Spyder RT - IKON Suspension USA https://share.google/QmQzneMg7AxQWAGox

$750.00/pair (including tariff fees), 3 different progressive spring options, 4 rebound settings, rebuildable & revalvable.

Not concerned with rear shock at this time (I know the rear Ikon would have to be imported).

Who has used Ikon and what do you think of them?

In real world touring use, are the other options actually worth the additional $200-$500?

Me: 240-250#'s with gear on, old guy solo rider, fully loaded luggage + 50# seat bag when traveling.

Thanks in advance for any and all info.

While I haven't had an opportunity to try Bajaron's shocks, I have used a fair few of the other more expensive options that are available out there (and waaay too many of the OEM noodles!) and while my 2-up riding load might be a smidge heavier than yours, I've found Ikon shocks all round really suit my touring and my fairly aggressive 'non-touring' riding significantly better than anything else I've tried to date!! There's a reason that I recommend Ikon shocks to pretty much every Spyder Ryder I talk to about shocks at every opportunity, and I reckon you could do a lot worse AND spend more money on those others to boot!! ;)

Go On! DO IT! You know you want to! 😁
