Forsaken Motorsport Linear Suspension Linkage for Honda CBR 600 RR (2007–2020)

Engineered specifically for the Honda CBR 600 RR across the full 2007–2020 model range, the Forsaken Motorsport linear suspension linkage transforms the rear suspension character from progressive to linear — delivering more consistent traction, predictable feedback, and improved power transfer under hard acceleration and corner exit. For riders who demand precision from their chassis, this is the upgrade that makes the difference.

Key Features

• Converts the factory progressive suspension rate to a linear response, resulting in more even traction and sharper power delivery throughout the stroke.
• 35% stiffer than the original Honda linkage, significantly reducing flex and deformation under load on road or track.
• CNC-machined in-house at Forsaken Motorsport in Canada from a solid aluminium billet using a Haas VM3 machining centre — uncompromising dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
• Supplied with new bearings for a reliable, play-free installation; original bolts, sleeves and seals can be reused to keep the job straightforward.
• Compatible with the stock spring, with the option to swap to an aftermarket unit to suit individual rider weight and preference.
• Valve timing is fully adjustable, allowing the rider to fine-tune the damping characteristics to exploit the flatter progressive rate of the new linkage.

Construction & Quality

Every component in this kit leaves the Forsaken Motorsport facility in Canada having been machined from a solid aluminium billet on a Haas VM3 vertical machining centre. That in-house production process means tolerances are held tightly from one unit to the next, with no casting porosity or forging flash to compromise the structural integrity. The 35% increase in stiffness over the stock Honda rocker arms translates directly into reduced energy loss through linkage flex — energy that instead goes into moving the suspension predictably up and down, exactly as intended.

On-Road & Track Performance

The stock CBR 600 RR linkage geometry produces a progressive rate that can feel inconsistent across the suspension travel, particularly noticeable on corner entry and mid-corner when chassis balance is critical. By linearising that rate, the Forsaken Motorsport linkage gives the rear shock a more uniform load to work with, making spring and damper setup far more intuitive. Whether you are chasing lap times on a club circuit or looking for a more composed and confidence-inspiring ride on challenging public roads, the predictability this linkage introduces is immediately felt.

Fitment & Compatibility

This linkage fits the Honda CBR 600 RR for model years 2007 through 2020. It is designed for solo rider use only — pillion or two-up riding is not compatible with this component. Original Honda bolts, sleeves and seals are retained during installation.
