DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered with MotoSpec racing software and conceived around HRC linkage geometry, the Forsaken Motorsport Linear Link redefines rear-suspension behaviour on the Honda CBR 1000 RR-R Fireblade SC82 — delivering a measurably more predictable, stable platform for track use and serious road riding alike.
Key Features
- Only 8% progression in the rising rate — closer to linear than any OEM Honda linkage — for consistent, confidence-inspiring rear-wheel feedback in every corner phase
- Developed using MotoSpec racing software, drawing conceptual influence from the HRC A- and B-linkage programmes
- Arrives pre-assembled with needle bearings installed, integrated seals fitted, and a titanium fastener included — a genuine plug-and-play upgrade
- OEM collars are retained, so installation is straightforward with no additional hardware required
- Flatter rising-rate curve reduces unpredictable load spikes through lean angle and during corner-exit acceleration
- Provides an optimised baseline for shock absorber valving and spring-rate tuning
Linear Geometry — Inspired by HRC Racing Setup
The standard CBR 1000 RR-R SC82 linkage carries a level of progression that, while suitable for a broad range of road conditions, introduces a degree of variability that ambitious riders and race teams prefer to eliminate. The Forsaken Linear Link reduces that progression to just 8%, producing a shallower rising-rate curve. The practical result is a rear end that loads up more evenly as the shock travels through its stroke, giving the rider clearer, more consistent traction information — particularly valuable mid-corner and when driving hard out of slow turns.
Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install
Every Forsaken Linear Link ships fully assembled. Needle bearings are pre-pressed, seals are integrated into the body, and a titanium bolt is supplied in the box. Your original OEM collars transfer directly across, so installation demands no specialist tooling beyond what any competent trackday preparation requires. Fit it, set your sag, and the improvement is immediately felt.
Suspension Tuning Compatibility
The OEM spring can be retained, though Forsaken Motorsport recommend reviewing spring rate relative to rider weight and riding style once the linear geometry is in place. Because the new rising-rate characteristic changes how load is distributed across the shock stroke, a complementary valving adjustment will extract the full benefit of the kinematic change — a worthwhile consideration for any rider investing in suspension setup.
