Imagine this...

You are riding down the highway closing in on an eighteen wheeler. The left lane is clear so you grab a handful of throttle and lean. You've done this a thousand times without a problem. In fact it's one of the thrills you expect from riding. Only this time is different. Last week's road crew left enough waves in the road to capsize the Titanic. Just as you pass the truck, your front end starts to shake an ever worsening wobble.

This situation can happen to any rider on any bike. The outcome will depend on conditions, skill, and pure luck. Fortunately you have help. A steering damper can help control front end shake and lesson the chance of high speed wobbles and tank slappers.

HYPERPRO Active Control Design

Hyperpro is the only active control damper available. What exactly is active control? Active control means that as the steering force increases, so does the damping effect. This results in a smooth easy-handling ride at low speeds combined with heavy dampening during extreme situations. The best of both worlds.

Hydraulics 101

A steering damper works by forcing oil through a hole. The size of that hole determines the amount of dampening. Every adjustable damper except HYPERPRO works by simply adjusting the size of the hole/holes that the oil flows through. The problem with this method is that you have a fixed level of dampening across the entire range of steering inputs. If you want maximum dampening the result is handling that is uncomfortably stiff during normal riding. If you want a smooth ride during normal conditions you sacrifice safety and control during extreme situations.

Why HYPERPRO is different

The HYPERPRO damper works in a unique and ingenious way. It has four adjustable holes that are always open during normal conditions. However as steering forces grow, two of the holes start to close. The more force, the more they close. This revolutionary design enables you to ride with a relaxed level of dampening yet still have heavy dampening when you need it most. Truly a breakthrough in dampening design. No other damper comes close to offering this kind of active response.

There's More

The safety afforded by the unique HYPERPRO active design is reason enough for every bike owner to have one. However the HYPERPRO philosophy of quality engineering has resulted in a damper with a number of additional features that make it truly exceptional.

Special Heat Reservoir

The HYPERPRO damper has a special reservoir to capture oil expanding due to increasing temperature. A moving piston (the damper) creates heat. As the oil has no place to expand it will literally freeze the damper into a solid bar. The HYPERPRO damper has the largest expansion reservoir of any damper available. A spring loaded one way valve ensures that the level of fluid remains constant, no matter how aggressive you ride. A feature unique to the HYPERPRO design.

Infinite Adjustability

The adjusting knob on a HYPERPRO damper has 10 steps.

Single Piece Piston Rod

The piston in the HYPERPRO damper is a single piece rod. Most other dampers are a two piece design which can result in excessive lateral movements of the piston at the end of it's stroke. This can cause oil leaks and, in an extreme situation, a jam if the piston torque's when fully extended.

Quality Construction

The HYPERPRO damper is made from high-grade aircraft aluminum and has special coatings that reduce friction. The damper is also rebuildable from the piston rod to the last screw.
