Hypermotard 698 Linkage plates

Linkage plates to better adapt the 698 for track riding.

The stock linkage have a tendency towards being too soft and that may cause the rear wheel to struggle finding full grip when you are accelerating as well as force you wide when exiting corners.

The stock spring is 70N/mm and suitable for a 80-90kg rider according to the manual. 
We would recommend using a slightly heavier spring for this bike. For example for the 80-90kg range, we´d recommend a 75N/mm spring.
And consider having a suspension technician adjust your shock aswell.

The graph shows the rear wheel force from the stock linkage in red. 
The black line shows our linkage with the stock spring and the grey line is our linkage with a 75N/mm spring.

Using the stock 34mm triple clamps we recommend setting the front forks at 10mm of outer tube above the top triple clamp. Adjust +-4mm from that to find your preferred setting. 

Made from aluminium 7075, anodized clear.

For racing purposes only

Expected in stock by Nov 8th.
